This is the last you will hear from The Curmudge. As many of you know, “Life On Capitol Hill” has been sold, again — three times in the past four years. This publisher has a different formula, and pay structure that doesn’t work for me, so I am saying adios. I appreciate this opportunity to do bid you farewell.

I especially appreciate Hilleary and Rory for giving me my voice in this fine paper 20-plus years ago, but mostly I will miss you the readers, even the ones who thought I was an opinionated air bag.

I am experiencing more change in this past year or two than in the previous 30. I say, “What the heck? Let’s see where it all leads.” Best to you all and best to the new owners of “Life On Capitol Hill.” It is a special beacon to a fabulous neighborhood.
