Thanks for reading our blog — you don’t know how much it has meant to us, and for linking to us, and writing about us. I really enjoyed blogging, the comments our readers left, and the letters they wrote. I also appreciated other bloggers and news sites talking about us and things we had said. I thank you all for reading, blogging, and linking.

Although we really enjoyed blogging, it takes a lot of time! During the holidays, away from Cornell, time was needed to relax — but mainly to spend with our families. . .I blogged less and less, and eventually not at all.

Maybe some day — though I don’t know when yet, I, or some other noisy students, will once again give you the conservative commentary you looked forward so much to. . . I apologize for not writing this the day I stopped blogging, but I had big hopes to start writing again fast.
