After Much Contemplation...

Well, I have made a decision about my participation in the world of Sherlockian chronology: I'll stay, but...

I have been mentally struggling for some time now about sticking with it. I started all of this on this very day, November 27, back in 2011. As with anything, it can get tiring and tedious from time to time, but if you enjoy something those feelings have a tendency to pass. What happens to me is that I get into a pastime and let it consume me until I am no longer interested. Luckily, Sherlockian chronology has been a constantly changing topic, and as a result it never got stale. But, as I said last month, I have other things I want to pursue in my life, and have to find a way to not let Holmes take over again. He'll always be a part of my DNA, but he can't be a fulltime endeavor.

I have thought a lot about this, and spoken to some folks whose advice I trust, and it came down to whether or not I still love doing this. Well, I do, and I still feel like people want more from this subset of the larger Sherlockian world. I am honored that I get to help the cause in whatever small way I can and do, and I want to keep showing others this isn't the stuffy old boring subject it once seemed to be. I don't know yet if I'm going to stick to a strict schedule or just create when I have something to say, but that will be sorted out soon. I need to update my database, come up with some fresh ways of reporting chronology to the masses, and get back to researching.

Thanks to all of you who have contacted me about going forward. It really means a lot that you took the time to tell me how you feel. I've hit the reset button, and am ready to get back at it. There's more work to do. One thing will stay the same, though - my sign-off. So, as I've said for so many years now (and meant it every time)...thanks for reading.
