Thank you again for inviting me, Karen! I had a wonderful month as guest blogger. The Zimmerman posts were a lot of fun to write. I also really enjoyed putting together the top-ten piece I submitted on the post-Ph.D. J.D. experience.
Most of all, I loved being a part of this great community. Please follow my twitter feed, as I try to keep it chock-full of interesting links and thoughts for legal history buffs. And enjoy the rest of your summer. I'd like to bid adieu with a short and favorite poem (I'm a big enough Stevens fan that I named my dog "Wally", in his honor). I'm not sure it has legal-historical relevance, but in the opinion of your humble guest blogger, it is a good way to say goodbye.

The palm at the end of the mind,
Beyond the last thought, rises
In the bronze distance.
Beyond the last thought, rises
In the bronze distance.
A gold-feathered bird
Sings in the palm, without human meaning,
Without human feeling, a foreign song.
Sings in the palm, without human meaning,
Without human feeling, a foreign song.
You know then that it is not the reason
That makes us happy or unhappy.
The bird sings. Its feathers shine.
That makes us happy or unhappy.
The bird sings. Its feathers shine.
The palm stands on the edge of space.
The wind moves slowly in the branches.
The bird’s fire-fangled feathers dangle down.
The wind moves slowly in the branches.
The bird’s fire-fangled feathers dangle down.
