GASPE, QUEBEC -- I've always secretly wanted to carry around a sign that says this.  And maybe now is my chance.  But it's not the end of the world that I am thinking about today.  It's the end of this blog.

In a few weeks I am leaving Hill & Knowlton.  There has been no real formal announcement but I am suspecting most readers will be aware... If indeed you have an interest.

And I know that H&K will continue to keep this site up, so you can keep commenting.  And that is good.

 We shall not cease from exploration, and the
 end of all our exploring will be to arrive
 where we started and know the place for the
 first time.

So says one of my heroes, TS Eliot.  That is what this process of writing has been about.  Anyone with an eye for detail and an interest in the topic will probably be able to quickly find contradictions in this blog.  In the words of Lady Bird Johnson, consistency is the last vestige of the unimaginative.  And I have tried to stay imaginative.

So, please do continue to linger here and see what you can find to comment on, or to argue about.

But, I also have not gone yet.  So, if there is a topic that you'd like to worry about in the next few weeks, do send me a note and suggest a theme.  I am starting to feel that the well is lacking a certain humidity at the moment.
