Yes, I know I have threatened to close Creedmoor many, many times in the past.
But this is it. It's over after a long enough run.
I am out of time and out of material. As you can see, I have not posted anything new in a while or finished off themes that I started back around Chanukah. I just can't keep up anymore; I've moved on as we all must at some point.
I cannot in good faith monetize this as it is not exactly something I want to share with too wide an audience. Every time I spend time writing here, I am taking valuable time away from work that does provide me with an income.
All of that would be fine if I still could come up with good new material that I enjoy writing. However, this is just no longer where it's at for me. I've lost my spark; there are no buildings left to ignite and the crimes that are being exposed in our world these days are just not funny - there is just no way anyone normal can laugh at abuse and molestation.
It's hard to say goodbye on Rosh Chodesh Adar of all days, but I am afraid Creedmoor has run its course. I was working on a Hebrew version with a different theme and cultural background, but that takes me twice as much time as this, and I don't have that kind of time.
I would like to release a Creedmoor audio album in time for Purim 5773. If I do cut an album I will do it professionally in a studio and make it available as a free or very low-priced download.
So, farewell and a freilichen Peerim. I do not think I will take the blog down; my real name does not appear on it so it does not affect SEO for anything else I may have planned online.

I am so sorry and wish you well. I remember a great photograph of you from a few years ago.
Will you find us using this site if your plan is realised?

Not sure what you mean but I am easy to find online :).
I'm not sure what I meant either!
Will we find you if we access this site? (And your plan reaches fruition.)
And are you findable under your real name?
:) I work under my real name and I have a very active Facebook account under my real name. I hardly check this anymore.
I have enjoyed reading about the various antics of the residents of Creedmore and other shlemazels over the years. I hope you do leave the site up even when you no longer add content. And honestly if you publish a book, I'll buy it.

Thanks! With Friedman back in the news today/yesterday, I will have an update "on his condition" within the next 24 hours.
As long as Blogger lets me keep the blog up, it will stay up!
Thanks for your support!
:) I never expected Friedman to come back to "prominence." If I had known, I would have said that I was off until something happened that I could really work with. I don't write parody or satire about abuse cases, so without schemers and scammers there isn't much I can write about.
