Blogging from the Cultural Wasteland of the Northern Cincinnati Suburbs
General
FYI
I have been formally relieved of my services at AOL. www.politicsdaily.com has gone in a completely different direction with hired full-time professional journalists and such and just a small smattering of us regular folks. We’ll see how that works out for them. I have my doubts, but who knows? I am, after all, not a professional.
Don’t worry I’m not crying much and will probably take a well-deserved break from politics for awhile.
Remember that while it sounds insanely cool to get paid for blogging, it also turns a fun hobby into a second job. And all that that entails. Think about it. More on that later, maybe. I’m going to go enjoy the rest of the Saturday now.

Your AOL income loss may be your lifestyle gain.
I am in the process of winding down a sideline business myself. Over the past two years I have come to realize that the opportunity costs of making a little extra money on side comes at the expense of a decrease in the quality of my life, mainly in the form of lost time spent with my family and missed opportunities to do other things that are fun or relaxing.
Personally, I can’t wait to have my weekends and evenings back and I am sure that you are feeling the same way.
Good luck, Andy
You’re not far off the mark Andy!
