Monday, Sept. 19, 2005 Dear Ladies, Gentlemen, Canines and Felines (and Birds, and Trees), Today is the day I get to tell you I'm going out of the daily blogging field of reality. Effective immediately, after one heck of a nonstop year (with a stand-in by Jude in the spring), this blog is on hiatus, perhaps to return, perhaps not. I am pulling back from geopolitical analysis and the daily blogosphere and all of that. Being an astrologer is more than adequate, and just as much as one little Fish can handle. This is part of a commitment to reduce my workload to human proportions. Many of you write to me asking how I do it, and the answer is, I really don't know. The CafeBlog will continue every day or two on the subscriber homepage, focusing on the latest astrological developments. To get that, it's best to become a subscriber, which has many, many benefits (particularly an astonishing archive) and of course helps us because that's how we pay the small but solid bills that this Web page creates. I heartily invite you to join in the fun, even if you only do it once. If you have not seen our genuine, unsolicited, unedited, authentic subscriber feedback, take a look -- and perhaps you too will be inclined to send some soon: http://planetwavesweekly.com/feedback.html You will see the subscribe link from there. Photos will continue to rotate every two days or so on the homepage; I feel a lot better saying what I have to say in pictures rather than in words, to the extent being a writer permits that. Thank you for your devoted readership, for checking in every morning to see what I have to say, for your vast majority of kind, insightful letters that keep me thinking, and most of all, for working together with us to help make Planet Waves happen. Yours truly and gratefully, with the Aries Moon trine Pluto, and Pisces rising, ERIC FRANCIS In the 5th Arrond. of Paris
