Time to Wrap It Up

I have loved doing this website. Every day has been extremely interesting in reading the newspapers from across the State and in looking at what the on-line news sites from across the nation have to say about current events. But I spend a minimum of two hours a day doing the work to keep it current. I have decided that the daily traffic no longer justifies that amount of time investment on my part. I will certainly miss doing it, but I'm wrapping it up for now.
