Tuesday, 6/8

 It's been over a year. Maybe I really should get my butt in gear.

During the height of the pandemic last year I wrote a blog about how I should really update the “107 Things to Love About Marquette County” list you can find elsewhere on this website. I figured I would have plenty of time to do it, but here we are 14 months later, and do you think I've even devoted an iota of thought to it?

You know me too well for that.

I last updated it sometime in 2015, so it's due for an updating anyway. But during the past year, as some of the businesses on the list have closed and some of the people on it have either moved or passed away, that need has accelerated. In fact, if you look at the list right now (as I did yesterday) you'll notice that it's actually, technically, “82 Things to Love About Marquette County and 25 Things That Aren't Around Anymore”.

That's a little too cumbersome for a title, doncha think?

I wish I could say I'd set aside a little time to update it, but seeing as how I'm loathe to make promises I can't keep, I can't. Hopefully, however, I'll be able to squeeze together an hour here and an hour there, and who knows—maybe, just maybe—some day the next, updated list will appear. Of course, there's an equal possibility that in August 2022, another fourteen months from now, I'll be writing this exact same blog again, and using the same excuses over and over.

Of course, by then, we could be down to, say “77 Things to Love About Marquette County”, and then I'll REALLY need to get my butt in gear, hunker down, and get the new version of it ready to go.

We'll see, I guess.
