So. After many years in the 1980s and 1990s and 2000s when I researched, managed, and built the Jim Carroll community and the website …<\/p>\n

But then at some point, I couldn’t.<\/p>\n

I have been unable to maintain the CatholicBoy.com website to my standards, or anyone else’s, for longer than I care to admit.<\/p>\n
