Disappearing from cyberspace is a little like being a tree that falls in the forest. A very small tree. Having disappeared from cyberspace myself for a couple of weeks, I am comforted by the fact that the forest is very large.
It’s not that this space disappeared, just that Boomers and Beyond disappeared. Boomers and Beyond is a blog primarily about issues critical to over-50 generations, and it came to pass on True/Slant.com a couple of years ago. It dealt with health care and fitness and housing choices and brain exercises and driving safety, and often diverted into rants about gay rights and abortion rights and gun control and other miscellany — because the True/Slant folks were a free-wheeling bunch and why should anybody quit worrying about rights and justice when they turn 50? All those profound words are archived in this nifty blog (this WordPress one right here) created by incredible friend-of-B&B-&-this space Mary Trigiani, so that if anyone stumbles into the forest and wants to study a small bush those twigs — OK, enough with the metaphor — are there to be read.
True/Slant didn’t actually disappear; it got bought by Forbes, and is gradually reappearing (as a New And Improved Forbes blogsite) there. Boomers & Beyond is reportedly going to reappear thereon, as soon as a contract appears. In the interim, it is just sitting there inert, and after several watchful readers noticed its inertia (posting anything new isn’t an option at True/Slant any more) I decided to venture once more into cyberspace.
It’s pleasant to meet you here. I hope we’ll meet again soon.
It is appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it’s time to be happy.
I have read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you few interesting
things or suggestions. Maybe you could write next articles referring to this
article. I wish to read more things about it!

Well, thanks for dropping in, ezequiel (louboutin homme), and for your very interesting comments. This piece (“The Curious World of Cyberspace”) was posted either last August or the year before… another curious factoid about how the world of cyberspace. I am indeed still writing, both at this Boomers and Beyond site (franjohns.net) and on Huffington Post (HuffingtonPost.com/fran-moreland-johns) and will welcome your cyber-visits and additional comments. I wish you peace and every good thing in the interim.
