Strange Herring<\/a>, is going on hiatus. That\u2019s one of my favorite blogs! The pillar of my old age! This is the second time an Anthony Sacramone blog has gone on hiatus. I\u2019m still mourning the absence of Luther at the Movies. He says that blogging has become a chore and he wants to stop before it becomes a bore. How about this Cranach blog? It is sometimes a chore, but you don\u2019t see me going on some hiatus. As for \u201cStrange Herring\u201d becoming a bore, he should let us be the judge of that. (In our household, if any of our kids said that he or she was \u201cbored,\u201d that would bring down harsh punishment for using the \u201cb\u201d word. That meant hours doing some improving activity.) I\u2019m not surprised that Mr. Sacramone became a burned-out case. He would put up like a dozen posts a day. All you need is three! Or four! When you get on a roll, save the posts as drafts and post them throughout the week, automatically if you have the right software. All he needs is a little vacation at the beach and a greater sense of responsibility. We need all the Lutheran humor we can get. (More on that later.)<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Strange Herring, is going on hiatus. That\u2019s one of my favorite blogs! The pillar of my old age!
