I know for a fact that you and this blog inspired several fans to step out of the shadows and contribute their own opinions, talents (?) and takes. I'm one of them. It's tough to give up something that you created. I know. I went through the same thing when I decided to fold up Full Mental Jackets and opt for a less stressful gig as an occasional contributor at The Union Blue. But when it comes to family, a job, hobbies (which is what a blog is for the most part) and achieving some balance, you got to do what you got to do. I wish you all the best, my friend and compadre, and hope that you will ultimately find enough time to contribute your unique takes about all things #CBJ, even if it is on irregular basis. I know I speak for a lot of #CBj fans in saying, whatever it is we'll take it!Greg Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158062785147214471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-52700628016784344852014-04-11T13:15:28.834-04:002014-04-11T13:15:28.834-04:00Thanks for all your efforts.

I know how hard you worked on your well researched articles, and appreciate the time and the quality thought that went into your posts. On a personal note, thanks for all you did to help promote my videos at Cannonfest.<br /><br />I've been going through a similar situation with reevaluating my time and priorities with my new family, and have come to the same conclusions as you. My freed up time has let me pursue other interests and improve myself in immeasurable ways. May your time be equally as well spent. If you ever need to chat, you have my contact info.<br /><br />-TomAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312375140063148911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-54133909823003355882014-04-10T23:44:18.026-04:002014-04-10T23:44:18.026-04:00Thanks for all the time you spent.

You have helped hockey become a passion of hers and for that, more than anything, I thank you! GO CBJ!!!!!<br /><br />Michael<br /><br />p.s.

The intelligence, forethought, and compassion for the fan has always been a comfort, even when there was none on the ice. Thank you for allowing those of us with comments to make them without the sometime scorn or ridicule of one who"knows better".Here's hoping, in the future, you will find the additional time, maybe the proverbial 25th hour in the day, and do some additional work here. The best thing I can say about the site, it's been fun and informative to read and to participate. Thanks for some GREAT TIME, WELL SPENT!!!!

This blog is more than just words, rants, or funny gifs. It was the expression of fair expectation of the team from the exective suite to the dressing room trash cans. I will carry on as best I can. Thank you for your friendship and for this wonderful vehicle of expression.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Mr. JeffersonMorganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956860295146122482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-42024247139728599452014-04-10T13:03:56.772-04:002014-04-10T13:03:56.772-04:00Full circle indeed.

You are correct that you fueled a movement that put pressure on the management of the organ-i-zation.<br /> And you got results.<br /> Few can claim as much. <br />Thank you for all you have done, and hopefully in a couple years, DBT will grow into a rabid fan and the CBJ can become a shared passion for you two.<br />May God bless you and your family.Inquiring Mindsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-89333654255761376252014-04-10T12:02:58.902-04:002014-04-10T12:02:58.902-04:00Thank you so much for all that you have done in th...Thank you so much for all that you have done in the past several years.
