Dear Friends:

Ten years after I started this blog, circumstances are making it impossible for me to continue with it. So I am going to suspend it, at least temporarily, in the hope of resuming it one day not too far away.

For me it has been a glorious ten years. A period during which I felt free to write whatever I wanted, in any form I wanted, and at any time I wanted. Without having some kind of editor look over my shoulder. Freedom, freedom–if there is anything I treasure, this it is. 

It was also a period filled with intense intellectual excitement and, here and there, new friendships. These I cherish and hope we can keep up in the form of correspondence.

Thank you. All of you, so much. And be well.

Martin
