Change Afoot: I'm going through a period of transition at work right now -- in fact, today is my last day of helping to phase out my position (though I will stay on as a contractor, but not full time). My editorial duties will slow down, but my childcare and household duties will likely take a bigger bite of time than I am gaining -- and at odder hours. Additionally, I currently sit in front of a computer all day. That will end, too.

For those reasons, my presence here at FauxPolitik can't help but feel the effects. I'll likely be posting fewer pieces, and less specifically "newsy" ones, since I'll be unable to troll the papers and blogs the way I do now. Ideally, I'd like them to be longer pieces, more analysis, fewer snippets and links. We'll see how that works out. I trust our vast readership can be patient while I settle into the new routine, and while I take a well-deserved vacation in early August.
