The Last Cup...

Things are changing for me here in London. I finally got broadband internet connected. We got a plan that combined the internet access and our phone plan, so now we are paying less than we were for dial up service.

The thing is that with this new ISP, I will be loosing my web space with plus.com. This means that I will have to move the location of this blog. I have decided that now is a good time to shut down Wednesday Morning Coffee.

I have several reasons for making this decision. The first is that I do not feel that I am doing a good enough job in keeping in touch with old friends. Keeping in touch by regularly posting news and commenting on a blog is great in theory. In practice, I don't post regularly, and most people don't have the time / inclination to check in. I have learned from painful past experience that you have to be extremely proactive to stay in touch with people once you don't live in the same town. So I am going to be more proactive with staying in touch, sending more personal emails, and making more phone calls.

Another reason for dropping WMC is that I want to start working on a website to promote my music. I am in the middle of recording an album and soon will need a web site to promote my album and performances. I could have both I suppose, but for now I want to focus my internet attention on the music site.

A final reason for giving up the blog is that it is feeling a little tired to me. I personally have not been extremely motivated to post, and as a result, I haven't really had a lot to say. I don't think I will be giving up blogland for good. I may start up a new blog after a while, when I have some thoughts stored up that I want to let out to play.

So for now it is goodbye to WMC. At the risk of getting on even more penis enlarging mailing lists, I am going to put my email address here so that if you want to stay in touch, and you are not sure if I have your address, you can send me an email and let me know. So here it is: johncelliot(at)yahoo(dot)com. WMC will remain here until plus.net removes my web space.

Goodbye for now...
