“Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you“

– Rick Astley, 1987

At last night’s Milton Town Farm review committee, our first meeting after being appointed last August, I learned about a couple of new readers of this blog. Those readers don’t like my blog posts [but they do boost my stats – thank you]. And some of those readers think I should give you up. More specifically, they don’t appreciate my coverage of town committees and boards and my critique of certain actions and statements made by elected officials and activists in town.

Up until last night, it had been a good week for bloggers. Trump’s new press secretary invited bloggers to apply for White House press corps credentials. No worries. I’m never going give you up. I’ve written for publication for nearly 50 years and bad reviews have not stopped me before and won’t now.

What happened last night other than the fifteen minute convo on my blogging? I lost a vote to become vice-chair of the committee. C’est la vie. We set a next meeting date of March 12th at 7pm and a Saturday, February 22 site walk at 10am. And we had a very preliminary discussion about Request For Proposals, geological surveys, traffic studies, affordable housing, fiduciary responsibilities and serving the poor. All very respectful and professional, bloggers notwithstanding.

Watch this space. And for those who are reading this for a Rick Astley fix, here you go.
