Good-bye Serial Comma…

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

I sat down tonight to take a few minutes for myself. It’s been a long and very stressful week and it’s still Thursday. God knows what apocalyptic events might yet happen. A gentle spontaneous combustion, perhaps?

This was going to be a post on a delightful bookish-blog discovery: theserialcomma.com. Funny, intelligent and written by a gentleman who lives in Rome — what more could you ask for?

I guess I found the answer to that one: “longevity”.

After an all-too-brief existence, we are left with a white screen and the simple message: “(The Serial Comma blog is closed)”. Life is too damn ephemeral.

Good-bye, you will be missed!
