My final column (for a while, anyway) ran in today’s paper. Let’s see if this opener can get you to read it:

We here at The Dallas Morning News do not, traditionally, consider it our role to dictate the details of your sex life.

The closing graf, for those who haven’t been paying attention:

Finally, an announcement: This will be my last column for a while. I’ll be spending the next academic year on a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University. There I’ll practice wearing tweed jackets, hating the Yankees and pronouncing “chowder” in a comical Kennedy accent. We’ll meet again on these pages next summer.

I’m currently in Rayne, my staging-area-of-choice for the drive up the coast to Boston. I would be hitting the road this morning…except for the fact that my car chose an extremely poor time to have its transmission go all flunky. So I’m here for at least another day or two. In related news, I’m now driving a Mazda-provided rental — a giant pickup truck. I feel like a true Louisianan.
