HARVARD GUY GOES GOODBYE - THIS BLOG HAS RECEIVED A "DNR" ORDER

-For reasons which I can't detail, but which should be obvious to anyone who knows what I do for a living (and which should have been obvious to me before), this blog is being discontinued. Like abandoned cannons and tanks, it is being spiked. It is going into a CIA burn bag. I can hear "Gravedigger" by Dave Matthews coming over the speakers. I'm not in any kind of trouble, but in order to continue doing what I love doing most, I have to put this baby to bed. I do want to hold on to this URL, however, because at some point I hope to revive it. And I did cut and paste all the entries into a Word file, so maybe I can turn them into a book some day. To anyone, friends and strangers, who enjoyed reading this gonzo guff from Harvard and southern Japan and central Mississippi over the past two-plus years, I appreciate it. All I can hope for is that, in writing what I did on this blog, I was never anybody's bitch, and I wrote about stuff that wasn't bullshit. Good night, and good luck, and good riddance to all bad rubbish.
