Dear Leggo,

I haven't been 100% honest with you. We have been together for over two years now, and I have posted over 100 blogs on various subjects. I think I have grown a lot as a person as a result of my time with you, and that is the reason why I think I have to just come clean. It is really hard. I'll just say it. I have been blogging on another site. I know. I know. You have every right to be upset. And I don't want to try and talk you out of being upset. It is upsetting to me too. But it is what it is. I have been posting on my sommelier guild web site.

You may have even seen it coming. Let's face it. I have been distant and not nearly as involved as I used to be. I think I can do a better job of sharing myself equally in the future. But I want to be clear. This other site is important to my future. All the things I have written here, all the parts of my life I have described, they are true. 100% true. Please don't think that I didn't mean any of those things I said. It started about two months ago. The first few posts were just dalliances, really, just kind of messing around. But the post I made last night was a lot of work, and I knew I had to come clean here. And I want to be totally honest with what I am doing, so I am going to cross post on this site. In fact, everything I post there, I will post here. But, and I want you to believe me here, I won't post anything on that site that I post here. I am not trying to talk you out of being hurt or anything, and you have every right to be upset. But I do want to make clear where things stand between the two blogs. You may notice that I sound different on that site, and you are right. The site is different and i have to strike a different tone. It doesn't mean I have been pretending with you all this time. I haven't. If anything I am more myself with you than with that other site. My thoughts on food, my chronicling of Valentine's day in a busy restaurant, my thoughts on what range to 3bet oop over 160bbs deep--that all came straight from my heart.

So what I am going to do is cross post that last blog with the other site right now. It will be the very next thing I do. I won't change a thing. My only regret is that I can't post the photos I took because the files are too big or something. I am sure there is some way around that but, well, let's face it, I have always been a technology donk. Total honesty, right? And I am not doing this to hurt you, I just think that this other blog, well, it is a part of my life now, and if I can share it with you, and you can accept it, then maybe we can go forward with a richer understanding of each other. Maybe we can be stronger. I am not calling it off between us. No way. Far from it. And before I do this, I want to be sure to let you know how great these past years have been. Really really great. Thank you. And please be honest with me about what you think.
