I didn't think much about retirement until I turned 60 in November. Now, I find myself using the statement: "I don't know how many more years I'll be doing this." Why am I bringing this up now? I thought about the future of Huckleberries while I enjoyed myself at Blogfest '10. Which was the sixth blogfest, including the four that have been held at Capones, Moon Dollar, and the Fort Ground Grill. Not that I plan to retire any time soon. But I did wonder how many more blogfests there will be. I compile Huckleberries Online for three reasons: It's my job. It's my hobby. And I feel an obligation to this community to provide an alternative voice to the Coeur d'Alene Press and the keyboard commandos of OpenCHRG and other individuals who are trying their best to stop the progress in this community. I've been here 25 years -- long enough to see us go through the down times of the 1980s when Coeur d'Alene couldn't pass a school bond and downtown Coeur d'Alene couldn't fill its buildings. Naysayers ruled the roost in those days. And a second generation of them are trying to do the same today. In fact, today's variety might be worse because they can attack at will via cyberspace and have the ear of the Coeur d'Alene Press. So I'll keep showing up for work here, to provide balance and to have fun, as long as you keep showing up to see what shenanigans are going on around town/DFO.
