Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow

Way back in March of 2012 I made my first post on this space about a Brian Fuentes Triple Threads patch card from the 2009 All-Star game in St. Louis.  Over the last three plus years I have frequently sat down in front of my computer in my office and spent a little bit of my day typing about my baseball cards.  It's been a good source of stress relief at the end of my days and share the cards I enjoy with other people.  This is a great hobby and has been a part of my life since childhood and I will always value the time I spent working on this blog and the people I have met along the way.

During different points in making 1,257 blog posts I have taken an occasional break from writing, but nothing longer than a week or two.  Over the last half a year I felt a restlessness with my writing.  I have ventured out to explore writing opportunities beyond this blog, as well as exploring some different ways to do different things with this space.  After months of contemplation I have decided to "retire" this space.

I am not going to shut the door all the way on this space, but unlike the other breaks from my blog that were short term, this one will last much longer.  It could be several months, maybe a year, or maybe I am just going to let this space be the way I am leaving it after this post.....

While I am leaving this The Snorting Bull Blogger page, I am going to maintain both my Twitter and Instagram accounts to share out my cards.  Again, I have really valued my time and experiences here and look forward to still talking to many of you who have taken time during the past few years to read my ramblings on baseball cards.

One day I will be back, whether it is here, or in another space.  In the meantime, I will leave you with one last card.  I was looking for a good one to go out on and this card looks like a winner.....
