Benediction

Ok, this is it -- my for-real final post on the Subdivided label.  From now on, all new entries will be available at Masters of Gilligan.

Well, we've had fun, haven't we?  What started as "Bob's Blog of Love" in July, 2002, full of bile and bitterness towards my employment situation at the time, eventually mellowed into Subdivided We Stand here on typepad. 

I'm still not sure where I came up with that name.  I was trying to come up with something that represented what I've morphed into -- the yard-mowing, backyard-grilling, Olive Garden patronizing, S.U.V-owning dad that I didn't ever imagine myself to be, and that I've come to enjoy being.  There was no "eureka" moment for the name "Subdivided We Stand" -- I think it may have come to me during a walk with the mutts, but I'm not even sure about that.

At the outset, our cast of characters included myself, Mrs. Subdivided, and our beyond-quirky basset hound, Smithers.  We then added mutt number 2, Kelsey.  After discovering that we could keep the dogs alive, we decided to try our hands with higher life-forms.  Adam came along in May of 2003, and then Kate in April of 2005.

Then, a heart attack for yours truly.  Then some more heartache with the discovery that Adam was allergic to dogs, which resulted in the pooches exiting, stage left.  (They're both doing fine, at last report -- thanks for asking.)

With two kids, it became a little tougher to maintain my standards of posting something nearly every day.  About this time, I threw out an idea to my blogging bud Joe Kelly, aka Marathon Man, who was also mired in something of a posting slump at the time.  An idea that he apparently had already had for a while, but had kept to himself -- specifically, a merger of our two blogs.

Joe was content to simply post here on Subdivided, but it just didn't seem right to me.  We needed a new home.  And a new name.  (Along the way, though, our conjoined efforts DID manage to snag us a coveted Bronstein award for excellence in blogging.  I'm still humbled at the awesomeness of that honor.)

So that's it.  Out with the old, in with the new.  Subdivided We Stand and Marathon Man are no more.  From now on, we are -- Masters of Gilligan.  Look for new content there starting Monday, October 29.

OK, but will we still have Mary Worth to kick around?

[Bob]

Oh heavens yes. Mary Worth -- I can't quit you.

[Mountain Mama]

Awesome! We miss you around the CC, Smitty.

Will you serve banana cream pies at the new place? I'm not coming over if you don't...

Well, okay, I have enough Halloween candy to keep me fat and happy for at least 6 more days. I'll still stop over. I even already changed your blogroll name on my site.

[Julie]

Since I don't have a Masters in Gilligan, do I still get to guest blog?

[Susan]

BTW, I think I meant coconut cream pies. It was bugging me on my way to work today. See, I think about your blog nearly all the time.

See you at the new place.
