I am alive, and well, and sometimes am still able to keep my sense of humor. I don't think I ever quite realized how many people I didn't know were reading FitH, or else I probably would have made some grand departing post... but some of the reasons the site went down are these: A, I was tired of deleting 200+ spam comments a day, and was too lazy to find someone who would upgrade me to a new MT with a comment filter. B, I felt, for a while, like I had nothing left to say. C, I fell in love, and most of the writing I was doing was intensely personal and for one man. D, my checkcard was stolen and the number was changed and I forgot to update the new number with my webhost and they jerked the site down with no warning, and then it was too much hassle to get it back. The latter was really the death knell for the site. I didn't mean to leave everyone hanging-- as I said, I just don't think I ever realized that I had an "audience." FitH might come back some day, or more likely, there might be a new permutation that is less "kids say the darnedest things."

But thank you for the wonderful compliment of this post. It was unexpected and a rare gift.
