—From EF and CB—
It’s fall, and the trees are commencing their lesson in how to let go. That time has come for us and this blog, and we want to say thank you for visiting. This will be the final post here but we will continue as usual to post on Facebook under our own names. The site contract with WordPress requires long-term advance payment, so the site will still be here until 2027. All past posts will be retained as an archive, and the merch sales will stay available.
I thought that as time went on things would become simpler, but it doesn’t work that way. We’re both doing an immense amount of writing, and the routines that accumulate with age and health issues are more demanding. Whenever we’re moved to write these essays that will still happen, but only on Facebook, or whatever comes along that is a more tolerable platform.
Here are our email addresses, should you wish to stay in touch.

With love from the damnedfools
I am disappointed I won’t have these missives to read as a start to my week. I look forward to reading your words and feeling your presence on a regular basis. I completely understand the need to cut back and refocus your energies. Thank you for the many wonderful essays, I will look forward to your Facebook posts. Be well, healthy and happy.
Sad, of course. I can’t seem to stop from being afraid of losing you both, and seeing you both withdraw even in this one small way where you are present hurts. Facebook! O.K. Facebook it is.
Love you both,
Bill
