The Dino Lounge Will Return On Monday!

Hey pallies! Guess what!?! The Dino Lounge will return this upcoming Monday, which will be on March 30th. I actually wasn't sure if I was ever going to come back or not. I definitely wanted to take at least a few weeks to a month break from this blog. I'll be honest with all of you. I missed it already. I also had so many people contact me and beg me to keep going with the blog. I really hated to disappoint all my readers. I consider you all my friends and not just people who read/comment on my blogs. I was already missing you guys. If I wait until Monday, that gives me a few more days to rest and relax. Thanks so much for all the great comments and warm wishes you offered me in my last post. I really appreciate it. I mean that a lot. I've had so much fun with this blog. Plus it's been great to check out your blogs and become good friends with so many of you. I'll be back visiting your blogs by the first of the week. I hope all of you will return here on Monday to check out my first post since my little break. I may take these little breaks from time to time. I won't make such a drastic announcement. I really apologize for that. I didn't mean to be so dramatic. I really thought I was going to stay away longer than what amounts to a week and a half I guess. I may just let you guys know in the future that I'll be gone for a few days or whatever. Take care. I look forward to seeing all of you on this Monday. Thanks again. Cheers!

    Hello Keith. I'm glad to see you are returning so soon. I hope that you have gotten the chance to relax and contemplate your future in blogging. I certainly would have missed visiting your blog, but I totally would have understood if you needed a longer time away.

    Atta boy, Keith! Sometimes making it known that you need a break is just what you needed to do! Don't post if you don't feel up to it; your readers will stay and the few that don't are replaced by newer, fresher faces. Glad you had a change of heart.

    Yay! Keith will be back! No hard feelings on the drama... I feel the same way sometimes... I plan on posting just once a week... we'll see how well that goes... LOL! (I'm so addicted)... Thanks for stopping by my place and leaving some love!

    I look forward to more of your posts but don't worry about us too much... we'll be here when you decide to pop in because we're good like that.... and you know what? I'll bet my bottom dollar, so are you!

    Glad to hear your coming back. Blogging can be time consuming, and so it's nice to have a break now and again... now if only I could take a nice long break from my real job, I'd be a happy man.

    Thanks Phoebe. I understand about why you hadn't commented. I am so sorry for the loss in your family. You have my deepest sympathies. The time away from the blog is giving me a chance to rest. I might do this more often. I just won't make a big deal about it. I'll just let people know I'm going to be gone for a few days.

    Hey C.K. Thanks. By the time I come back, it would have been like 10 days. That is a nice little break. I had thought I might at least take 2 weeks. I just needed to recharge my batteries I guess. I probably will take some breaks in the future, but I just won't make a big announcement post like I did. I'll just say that I'll be gone for a few days or whatever.

    Hey Erma. Thanks. I appreciate that a lot. I was really conflicted when I took the break. There was part of me that didn't want to take a break at all. Another part of me wanted to take maybe 2 weeks to a month. Then another part of me wanted to just throw in the towel. When I come back, it will have been like 10 days. It was a nice breather.

    Hey Gil. I know what you mean. By the time I come back on Monday, I would have been gone like 10 days. That's a nice little break. I needed it. It would be nice to take a break from work and still get paid.

    Hey pallie DMP. Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you liked that pic. Feel free to use it at any time you like. That's cool by me. I look forward to being back here on Monday. I am enjoying my break, but I do miss blogging. You are welcome about the blog comments. I wanted to make sure I checked out your blog.

    Hey there! I just discovered your blog not too long ago and thought "It FIGURES! Just when I find something decent to read, it goes away." So I'm glad you're not going away for good! Martinis all around!

    Thanks Fast Eddie. It was great hearing from you. I've come across blogs before and then realize they are no longer being updated. I'm glad that I didn't let you down. I'm going to have to check out your blogs. They look really cool. I would love a martini. Cheers!

    I keep meaning to ask you who that chick in the green dress is, seated with Dino on your header pic. I was going to say Audrey Hepburn, but I'm sure it's not..

  35. KeithMarch 29, 2009 at 3:35 PM

    Hey Joe. That's Daliah Lavi. It's a scene from the movie The Silencers that Dino did in 1966. I've posted some stuff of her before up here. Plus I've done some postings about the movie.

    You know I've never heard of her. Thanks, I didn't have a clue.

    She played in some different movies back then, such as The Silencers and Casino Royale. She's also a singer.

    Hey Keith,
