Stop the presses!

Note: This old post has been superseded by the death of John Kraft in 2021. However, the good new is that, as of this writing (September 2022) his blog is still online and can be read at https://johnkraft.wordpress.com.

“Down the Hall on Your Left,” a blog that has been the source of much innocent (and not so innocent) merriment for many since 2014, is shutting down.

Man alleged to be John Kraft.

World-class curmudgeon John Kraft has posted more than 1,500 entries and now, of all times, claims to have run out of things to say. Well, John, all I can say is, here’s another fine mess you’ve gotten us into.

I personally (that is, myself, in the first-person singular) have become practically addicted to John’s weekly dash of cold blather. I will miss it.

AND HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS:

I checked directly with His Bloggishness, and there are no near-term plans to extinguish the site itself. So, if you happen to like writing by Old Guys (and if not, Dear Reader, why are you here?), then be sure to check out “Down the Hall on Your Left,” where plenty of past delicacies and indelicacies remain for your enjoyment.

So long, fellow blogger, and Happy Trails to You.

Blessings,
