Good news and bad news: reprise

HPites, it's time for some good news and bad news again.

How about the bad news first?

Sadly, this is the last week that I will be posting to this blog (or any other blog). 

The good news is I have finally secured employment!

It's never a good time to end this really, and trust me I'm sad about it.  But I'm headed to DC to find a place to live next week, so ending this week is as good a time as ever. 

I'll still be in touch via email, ksteadman at gmail dot com, and of course working and thinking about health policy.  Just not in this kind of venue. 

Writing this blog has been an awesome journey, and I wish I didn't have to abandon it.  But I won't have much time to keep it up when I'm working full-time anyhow, and now that I'm off my crutches and moving, it feels like the right chance to move on. 

And of course, how could I have done it without you, my razor sharp readers, whose visits inspired me to keep going, especially on those days I really didn't want to write anything.

I'll be taking the blog down, unfortunately, but if you ever have one of those "I remember this one post Kate wrote..." moments, email me and I'll try to track it down.
 

And of course I'll be writing tomorrow and Friday still.  And maybe a bit over the weekend out of habit.

Congratulations, Kate. I haven't commented here, but as a public health student at Penn who is interested in policy and politics, I've always enjoyed reading your posts every day.

Best of luck with the new digs and hopefully one day we'll change the world.

Congratulations and good luck!

Zut! Loss of this blog can't be good for the health policy wonkosphere. Congratulations, however, and take some sedatives before you go pricing housing in DC. My cousins live in Arlington, and while their apartment is admittedly a little upscale (on-site gym, subsidized Metro passes, and other amenities), they were paying $2,400 a month for a 2-bed, 2-bath place that was not large by any stretch of the imagination. They recently moved in the same building to a lower-priced unit.

Kate:

It's been great reading you Kate. We'll miss you in the blogosphere. Hoping you'll come back to it some day.

Best,

Fard

Wow. I'm happy for you but sad about losing your voice. I count on your insights into health policy. I hope you'll find time to start writing again soon.

Congratulations on the new job. Good luck :)

I'm going to steal your post New Modernization since you're taking the blog down. Can you move your best/favorite stuff over to blogger? It's a shame to think of losing the whole site.

Gee, I never comment here and now I have three comments in a row. Too bad it's because I'm a dope. I read New Mod at Ezra's place, which isn't in danger of going anywhere. Whew!

Mazel Tov on the new gig, Kate! And, of course, we'll miss you here in the blogosphere.

Best of luck to you, and may you have a long, storied, and successful career!
