Thanks and goodbye…

After eight years – among the most confusing and consequential in history, in many ways – I’m wrapping up the Overnight Note and moving on to a new writing project. I’ve just recently done a trial launch, but I can already see it’s going to occupy most of the online time I have these days.

You can take a look over at www.statesofplayproject.com and I hope you’ll find something worth reading, just as I’ve hoped you’ve found the Note interesting or useful.

Thanks very much for reading.
