 Outside the Beltway 

Clearance Sale

Michael Demmons has announced that he’s shutting down shop at Discount Blogger. He’s still enjoying it but finds blogging has been too big a diversion from real life.

I keep hearing about this “real life” but still can’t figure out what channel it’s on.

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and infant daughter.

You've been looking in the wrong place, James. It's not a channel, it's a URL!

Blogging can use a lot of time if you let it. I think one hour a day is enough to keep up with your blog.

I tremble with fear at the idea that James might get more of a life. That's a lot less for the rest of us here.

Ricky,

That's just it for me. I've let it consume WAY more than an hour a day. :-)

And, by the way, if blogging is what you love to do and you don't neglect other things along the way, then it IS a real life. My problem is that I can't really figure out how to gel my blogging and my family life in a way that keeps them #1.

Just because something may seem out of the ordinary, doesn't make it any less legitimate. I'll still be here. I'll just be reading y'all's stuff instead of writing my own!
