Happy Trails to You

As George Harrison wrote, all things must pass.

Seven Days is making some changes to the newspaper’s on-line presence and the “Yo Hackie” blog will not be part of the new configuration. Next Wednesday, March 26th, will be its last day of life, and there will be no last moment commutation from the Governor. (I actually had my lawyers call Douglas and he said, “No f-ing way.”)

Folks, it’s all good. I had a good run with this blogging thing, nearly a full year. I’ve had the opportunity to exchange views – via the comments – with many readers, and I thank everyone who took the time to read the blog and/or post comments. It’s been fun and meaningful.

Thanks also go out to the paper, and, in particular, to the on-line editor, the fabulous Cathy Resmer. Cathy, it’s been a delight to work with you over the past year. You have been nothing other than encouraging and supportive.

I’ll probably post a few more times over the next week. After that, the fortnightly “Hackie” column will do all the talking for me. As always, feel free to stay in communication with me through my email address which you can find at the end of every column.

Adios, amigos!

Peace out.
