I\u2019ll take a brief leap into self-congratulations.<\/p>\n<p>My blog is in the midst of another pretty healthy streak. I have gone 141 consecutive days posting items about this and that. It\u2019s mostly political, but I have branched out to talk about sports on occasion, about my retired (or shall I say semi-retired) life and also about my beloved family.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and then there\u2019s Toby the Puppy, the pooch who makes my wife and me laugh every single day.<\/p>\n<p>A few of my friends have said they \u201cmarvel\u201d at the prolific nature of this blog. A couple of them are bloggers themselves. I admire their work, as it is generally a lot more thoughtful than my own submissions. I haven\u2019t told them as much; I will make sure I do so in short order.<\/p>\n<p>But my blog is part of who I am. I have been writing on High Plains Blogger since before I left my daily print journalism career in August 2012.<\/p>\n<p>I will acknowledge that the current streak isn\u2019t as long as a previous streak that got curtailed after more than 350 straight days by a technical glitch. I missed a day \u2014 or maybe it was two of them. I\u2019m back at it now.<\/p>\n<p>I intend to keep doing this for as long as I can string sentences together. It is a lead-pipe cinch I won\u2019t run out of topics on which to comment.<\/p>\n<p>Let the topics keep offering themselves to me. I am standing by.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t write often these days about my blog, which I named High Plains Blogger when I set it up more than a decade ago.
