Although in my case, it is costing.  Not much and I did it pretty much on a lark.  Yes, today I purchased some Google Ads.  Another effort in my struggle to recover from the theft of my domain.  I’ve not seen any of the ads, but they should be appearing randomly throughout the K-blogosphere.  I just checked the Google Ad stats and one person actually clicked on an ad.  Set me back 66 cents.  Sir or Madam, I hope it was as good for you as it was for me.

Anyway, I only pay when I get a hit and my total budget is fifty bucks.  I’ll be amazed if I get enough hits to max that out, but you never know.

So, if you came here through an ad and are wondering what Long Time Gone is all about, well, you tell me.  This blog is a virtual cornacopia of potporri.  Which is another way of saying it is about everything and nothing at all.  I write what I feel like writing whenever I feel like writing about what I’m feeling, doing, feel like doing, or wishing I was doing.  And sometimes I write nothing at all.  I ain’t much on grammar nor spelling, but I take no offense at criticism in that regard neither.  Feedback is a gift, so feel free to spill your guts in the comment section.

Like me, this here blog is a work in progress.  Stop by anytime you like and see what’s up.  Expect to be disappointed and perhaps occasionally pleasantly surprised.   As Stephen Stills opined: “It’s no matter, no distance–it’s the ride.”  Whatever that means…

And now it’s time to say goodbye from here at Long Time Gone

And I would like to thank you folks for kindly loggin’ on

You’re all invited back again to this locality

To have a heapin’ helpin’ of my hospitality…

Y’all come back now, hear?
