A Valediction: The End of Blogging

Posted in Uncategorized on September 16, 2008 by aftertheblackdog

(If you read that title and thought of John Donne, you’re probably either an English major or someone writing a paper for lit class. Either way, you’re in line for serious bonus points.)

The Burch Fellowship organization recently posted this link on its website, so I’m expecting we’ll have a lot of university traffic soon. For those of you coming to visit for the first time, welcome. Feel free to look around — since the oldest posts are farther back, you’d probably do best to click to the last page. You might also click on the links at right for an introduction to the project, some lovely video footage, and a few other tidbits.

As I’m completing my senior year at UNC-Chapel Hill, this is probably the last post you’ll see on this blog. For those of you who have kept up, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about my adventures in England. For the rest — especially curious folks who have found themselves here by accident — I invite you to step in out of the English rain and prop up your feet a while. If you’re looking for a good read, you might find that here. If you’re looking for information on travel spots in England, you’ll definitely have some luck with the earlier posts. And if you’re interested in Black Dog legends, or anything connected to them, you’ve surely hit the mother lode: I spent my whole summer studying them. Feel free to email me with questions and comments.

Thank you all. It’s been quite an adventure — I can only hope that I’ll be starting a new blog to chronicle a similar journey sometime soon. For now, however, this pilgrim is home safe and sound, and ready to drink his fill of his homeland before setting off on adventures new.
