And what of the Blog?
| Since my upcoming move will take me into the fringes of Burgatory, my Krystal Thursday tradition may be in jeapordy. I am going to do my best to keep it going, but no promises. Of more importance to you, though, is the fate of this blog. In reality, that fate is something I leave up to you, the readers. I have thought long an hard on this and have no solid answer. This blog was originally to document my attempt to get into the Krystal Lover's Hall of Fame. That has long since passed, and in fact the new class has been inducted. If you go to Krystal.com and click on the trophy in the upper right, you'll go to the HOF. My "class" of 2006 is now in the "Archive" in the book to the left side. They have also corrected the spelling of my last name (Thanks Tiffany and the Krystal.com web wizards!) You can read all the great stories of the new inductees by clicking on the trophy in the center. And should you desire, you can nominate yourself or others with the ballot box to the right. My reason for mentioning this is that in the future, people will come to my blog expecting lots of Krystal related Kontent. Since my access to Krystals will soon be limited, this blog will have less of that tasty Krystal Flavor. Options I have contemplated include the following: Let the blog "die." Stop updating and let it just sit as a historic record. Keep the blog alive, but only post on the rare occasions to document my occasional Krystal Adventures (perhaps once a month). Continue to post Jason-related content when there is no Krystal Kontent. Frankly that feels like I am pulling a bait and switch. Lure people in with the promises of Krystals and then they are faced with stories of me and my life. I also thought of sort of opening this up to you, so you can share your own Krystal Adventures. I would love to believe that I have inspired people to go above and beyond and get a bit Krazy when it comes to the beloved burger. Maybe instead of this being only about MY Krystal Adventures, it could instead be the central location on the web for EVERYONE'S Krystal Adventures. I am fairly certain my new job will eat into my free time. With grading homework, makign tests, and prepping for classes, I'll have less blogging time. This is not a complaint. With the exception of grading homework, I love all of the aspects of teaching. But some things will have to suffer, and I suspect this blog may be one of them. As you can see, no decisions have been made. I am still quite conficted and confused. I am open to your suggestions and input. In fact I really want and need it to help decide where to go from here. But let there be no doubt, when Krystal arrives in Wilmington (hint hint!) I will be there, nose pressed to the glass, foaming at the mouth, tail wagging, and eager like no one has ever seen. Once I can get my own fresh hot steamers minutes from home, I assure you this blog will be back in all its glory once again! I promise that!  |
