On hiatus for a while

Losing streak? What losing streak? It's far in the rear-view mirror as the Royals look to sweep... such is baseball, the violent lurches and sways capable of turning on themselves overnight.

On that note... I'm jumping ship, temporarily. Not for any good reason, really, but it's just that I've been a little out of the way these last few days, geographically speaking, and I'll be remaining out of the way for the next five months. I initially thought I could continue blogging about the Royals from out here, but I've come to realize it's just not going to happen. The hours I normally devote to this blog are gone, and with so many good Royals blogs out there -- all of them, I believe, listed on the blogroll to the right (do let me know if I'm missing any) -- my little voice just wouldn't be much good, like shouting at a runaway train.

Anyway, there's no good way to sign off, but I do want to say thanks to anyone and everyone who's dropped by this little corner and especially to anyone who's taken the time to leave a comment -- they all pass through my inbox, and I'm always happy to see it.

This isn't goodbye, of course. I'll continue reading the RSS, following the Royals, baseball, etc., and I'll be back in time for the stretch run and to cheer the Royals in the postseason. Yes, I said it. And I won't actually be going away, cybernetically (?) speaking -- I've started a new project, a link to which you'll find in my profile. It's not at all like this one and I don't expect to draw the same viewers, but give it a look if you're interested.

Anything else, feel free to email. Let me know if something incredible happens, or if Reed Johnson almost breaks his neck diving for a ball in left-center again. Stay classy, Kansas City.
