For over fifteen years, since June 2009, I've been posting my "Monday Morning Rants." When I began this regular column, I initially wrote: "Mondays often seem the most difficult day of the week, the start of the work week after the weekend. I hear more complaints from people about Monday than any other day of the week. And I too sometimes dread Mondays, especially after a particularly fun and relaxing weekend. So, maybe Mondays are the best day for a rant."
I also previously wrote, "There are issues about food, wine and spirits which sometimes irritate me, which irk me with their inanity. I get upset when soundbites are promoted over logic and analysis. Sometimes I get annoyed by rampant ignorance. Someone needs to step forward to speak out about those matters, to oppose these problems. And I am going to try to do just that, every Monday."
My Rants range from very important issues, such as Rant: DON'T DRINK & DRIVE.....OR ELSE! to relatively inconsequential matters, such as Rant: I Want Iced Tea In The Winter! Some Monday Rants are inspired by events or thoughts that occurred over the prior weekend, while others have percolated over time, finally getting turned into written thoughts.
As 2025 approaches, I've been pondering over my blog, assessing it, considering possible changes. Thus, I have been thinking about my Monday Rants. Are they still necessary? Do they still serve a purpose? Do my readers still want to read the rants? Can these rants still spark interesting conversations and debate?
I understand my own thoughts on this matter but want to hear from my readers. How do you feel about the Rants? Would you like to see them continue? Do you have suggestions for their improvement? Are there topics you would like to see me Rant about in 2025?
