World History
Last Thursday night, I received word my father-in-law was in the hospital. The next day, he was dead. It was sudden, shocking, and very devastating. After travel for the funeral and to be with family, I am finally back home.
During this time away, I only got on the Web one time. It was humbling for me to see how unimportant blogging can be sometimes. My blog went for a week without a post. So what? Life went on and I doubt many people even noticed.
I have no intent on stopping blogging. I will try to maintain this blog for the rest of my life. However, breaks in blogging are going to happen. And further, someday I will die and this blog will be "history." I have always known this intellectually but sometimes it takes something like this to drive the point home.
Sorry to sound depressing. I am OK. And for the time being, so is this blog.

- On Vacation Again
I will be travelling internationally over the next few weeks. I anticipate having little free time and sporadic Web access. As such, I have no choice but to take another break from this blog. I anticipate getting back to blogging the week of July 8th....

Happy New Year! Last week, this blog successfully passed the three year birthday date. As blogs tend to have short lives, I am very happy to still be around and blogging on a regular basis. Let me thank some people: 1. I appreciate all the readers who...
- World History Blog Banned In India!
It is true. This blog has been banned by the Indian government and Internet Service Providers have been ordered to block this url. Am I really that subversive? Do I help to spread dissent or bad karma? Unfortunately, I am not alone. Millions of blogs...
- Two Year Anniversary
I note that December 31st is the two year anniversary of the start of this blog. In the last two years, I have changed my blogging style some (more frequent posts and more commentary on sites) but I have kept my basic premise the same. I just want to...
