Sabbatical

I've been writing for AMERICAblog for over two years now, and during that time I have had opportunities, conversations, and interactions beyond what I could ever have dreamed when I began. I have grown as a writer, analyst, and person during that time, part of which includes my professional life. This summer in particular, I'm doing work that I'm very excited about, work that I hope will shape my personal and educational development.

Unfortunately, though, I can't do both the job and blogging. I therefore have to take some time off from the site, and wanted to let y'all know rather than just disappearing. This isn't a "goodbye cruel world" post, not in the slightest -- I will continue to closely follow politics in general and foreign policy in particular, and I hope to return to writing about these vital issues not too long from now.

As always, I appreciate our readers, and of course John and Joe, and I know this site will continue to be a place for analysis and insight that you can't find anywhere else. (Partly because, if all goes well, another foreign policy nerd will be stepping in shortly ... stay tuned.) Thanks again, and see ya around!
