What has happened to Larry? I guess you can say that I have shifted my focus to other endeavors. Flyball has been such a large part of my life over the last 7, going on 8 years, and it is long past time that it takes a back seat. I will still occasionally participate because my wife and I have joined another team but it will be nothing like it has in the past.
I was really hoping that I could find other contributors to take up some of the burden of the blog. After all, I look at this forum as your voice, the flyball community’s voice. It’s your voice in an otherwise closed society of owners and board members. The problem is that most people are afraid of retribution or ridicule by teammates and others in this very small community, and they want to remain anonymous.
There are still many issues that can be discussed. NAFA still continues to waste tons of money on their so-called promotion of flyball in the southwest. If you have looked at the profit & loss statement recently posted on the NAFA website, you will see that it’s been another costly year for the Cynosports boondoggle. In the government, we call these little excursions boondoggles, i.e. an activity or project that is unnecessary and wasteful of time or money. However, I digress. My point is that there are many things out there worthy of thought provoking discussion if someone wanted to take up the cause.
I will leave the blog up and running and may post something from time to time but it will be nothing like it was. It does cost me money to run the blog because decent hosting is not always cheap so every now and than it would be good if you would click on some of the links to the left side of the screen. Every click is worth a few cents and it adds up.
I want to thank everyone who has read and has participated in this forum, and I bid you all good fortune and happy racing.

Larry,
Your blog is awesome, for the very reason you’re having trouble finding a successor. You spoke your mind and clarified situations that politics have obfuscated.
I’m rarely afraid to say the unspeakable (that’s why I’ve been kicked off most group e-mail lists… questioning the status quo). I’d pick up your reins if I was qualified, but I’m only starting Flyball, so it’ll take at least a year before I know enough to get informed and objective.
Your archives here are an asset to the sport of flyball and to all dog sports, so thank you for the effort and the balls that made it happen.
I consider this a graduation instead of a retirement. So congratulations and god speed.
I am also a beginner in flyball (only been competing for a year) and I do love to blog. I would enjoy being a contributor if you still need some.
