For Every Blog, There is a Season

Brian Braiker

Anyway, so hi. How's it going? Yeah, I know this election is CRAZY, right? Yeah, and the bank situation. Wild. So, you look good. No I mean that. It's been a while and I can totally tell: you've been working out, haven't you?

Me? Oh, not much. Nothing, really.

Oh, there is this one little thing actually: I know it's been a long time since we've been in touch and that has completely been my bad. Mea wicked culpa. But here's the deal--we had another kid! (By "we," of course, I mean "my wife" because all I did was stand there and weep like a newborn little girl, which is precisely what my bride bore me! Without meds! On Father's Day!) As you can imagine, I've been busy.

Still I feel I owe you an apology for not blogging about it here on my blog, which is ostensibly a parenting blog for blog posts about being a parent. Oops! Well, here's the rub: I suddenly find myself harboring a deep ambivalence about blogging about my kids for work. Selfish, I know. Here's the other thing: I find parenting vastly entertaining and interesting--I just don't really care about how other people do it. I also don't care much about the mommy wars in their various iterations. Or, for that matter, stay-at-home dads (sorry dudes!) or baby gadgets! Or babies. I hate babies!

Actually, I made that last part up.

All of this is to say: most good things must come to an end. Even bad things, like this blog, must come to an end. And so my editors and I have agreed to let it end as it began: without dignity ... or anyone noticing.

Watch this space, though, a new blog is a-brewing. I'm not going to tell you what it is. Yet. Which means you should take this opportunity to tell me what you'd like to see if you had the keys to Newsweek. This is not "adieu," this is "more to come ..."
