Parting Words from Moristotle

Portrait of Moristotle
by Susan C. Price

By Moristotle

Why am I retiring from blogging? For a long time, I have known my sun was slowly setting, but it seems now to be sinking fast, as memory and memories fade. Some mornings even my fingers can’t remember what was the best way I’ve yet found to hold the coffee grinder to brush out the shards of bean.
    But the existing content will still be here, and more posts are already scheduled for August – a few more statements of farewell (suggested by Maik Strosahl, to whom I’m indebted for the idea), a “Father’s Art” column by André Duvall, and poems by Maik, Michael H. Brownstein, and Eric Meub, whose sonnet “Afterlife” will appear last because its title rather caps my going off.
    In future, only blog members may comment.

The blog will still be here, with all of its contents accessible by one means or another:

From the blog’s Home Screen (moristotle.blogspot.com), you could theoretically simply scroll down in this column to (eventually) view all of our more than 4,750 posts without having to link to any of them. But no one’s going to do that, except maybe an AI device.
    Still, it’s useful to remember that you can get back to the Home Screen address from wherever you are on the blog by clicking on the big, white “Moristotle & Co.” title set in the masthead’s collage of Moristotelians:

Access from the Sidebar. The Sidebar provides a variety of useful links to posts:

• The Recurring Column links (38 of them).
• The two visual indexes I added this month: for André Duvall’s “Father’s Art” and the covers of my “Goines On” vignettes.
• The Staff of Moristotle & Co. Note that six members’ bio blurbs include links to other platforms where their continuing work can be viewed: Bob Boldt, Michael H. Brownstein, Paul Clark, Geoffrey Dean, Ken Marks, and Susan C. Price.
• The year/month Archives links.
• The Labels (#tags) Associated with Postings, listed alphanumerically in the concluding section of the sidebar. A label was created the first time I specified it for a post, and its parenthetical number was incremented each time I applied it thereafter. If you click on one, you call up all posts I applied it to. (You can also call them up if you are at a post with a label of interest and click on it in the list displayed below the post.)

Our Web Stores are, as of this writing, still in business. Web Store Bulgaria belongs to Christopher Dean, and Web Store California to Susan C. Price, a Moristotelian Emeritus. Their offerings are listed in the sidebar, just below the visual index for “Goines On.” If you haven’t checked them out, the stores are still open.

Our Back Pages will still be there too. A directory to these pages can be found in the sidebar, above the visual index for “Father's Art.” Pages include “A Declaration of Animal Rights” and “Sentients’ Rights.”

Managing Moristotle & Co. has been a work of love, a passion to express myself, to create, and to serve my staff and supporters. I am grateful. Let’s keep in touch.
