The above is the email I received from my graduate school two days ago.

It's over folks. The Lonely Dissertator is no more.  (Yes, I've already paid all of my dues to the University.)

Thank you for your companionship over the years.  It is sad to leave this blog after so many years, but it is time for me to move on. And so, I bid you adieu.
