Signing off
Good Sunday morning readers! This is a post I felt coming for a while. I began this blog in August with two goals in mind: (1) contributing my two cents to the national political and Chicago sports fora with a little Kentucky basketball sprinkled in and (2) preventing any stylistic depreciation in my writing between the Illinois Bar Exam and starting work. I would like to think I accomplished both. Over the last six months, we have enjoyed one of the most memorable Kentucky basketball seasons of my life (along with a gut wrenching Elite Eight loss), a disappointing Bears season, an historic health care bill, as well as many other odds and ends that embody the American news cycle. Throughout these events, I tried to record my own commentary and perspective in a manner that was not only enjoyable to write but hopefully entertaining to read as well. However, all good things must come to an end. With a new (and time consuming) job, it has become difficult to maintain the time necessary to produce a product that I feel adequately represents my own thoughts as well as the quality of my readership. Moreover, in the perpetual balancing act that is everyday life, I feel that it is more important to focus on my family and personal engagements than ever before. I may resurrect the blog at some point down the line, but faithful readers can always follow me on Twitter to keep up with my day-to-day thoughts. Additionally, I will continue to contribute short blurbs on the links on main page under this name when my schedule allows. Once again, I want to thank everyone for their comments and support. I encourage everyone out there to continue to take an analytical approach to everything they see or read that I hope to have embodied during the hundreds of posts on this blog. Thank you all for your patronage and good night and good luck.
