No doubt you noticed that I haven’t posted recently. Actually, if you noticed this, it was probably months ago. So what’s going on?

Well, I’ve had quite a few things competing for my attention. Apart from my regular job, I’ve been working hard on finishing up my MPH in health policy (nearly there!). And I also wrote a book.

Wait? What? A book you say?

Yes! It’s called Carless in Chicago, a guide to living and thriving car-free in the Windy City. It’s due out in a few weeks from Lake Claremont Press. It’s available for preorder from Amazon, and yes of course, it has its own site that just went live today: CarlessInChicago.com. (And you can read an interview with me about the book over at John Greenfield’s Vote With Your Feet blog.)

I’ll be blogging about relevant issues over there, and now that things are a little calmer, I’m going to try and resume a periodic posting schedule here. Most future posts on transit issues will probably end up over there, but things here will probably otherwise remain largely the same, although possibly with a slightly higher percentage of public health and health policy related entries.

To those of you still actually checking this page, thanks for coming back. I hope to have more new material for you soon. (And perhaps an updated design. Could happen.)
