Retirement

Several academic and professional opportunities have presented themselves. Given that they involve social scientists and policymakers whose work I’ve long admired, I want to devote as much of my time, attention, and resources to them. Something must be sacrificed, and unfortunately, the blogosphere must be it.

James has been kind enough to keep OTB’s door open to me. At this point, I doubt that I’ll make any comebacks, but I truly appreciate the hospitality. And I truly appreciate the support that many readers have provided me for the past couple of years. Cheers.

    Good luck. I know what a time hole blogging can become, especially when competing with other areas of academic/professional opportunities. Stop by any time.

    And hopefully our paths will someday cross in the “real world”.
