So, if you checked out today's link package, you might have noticed a little nugget in there about an important announcement here at Insights later today.
The announcement, for once, has nothing to do with breaking news at Notre Dame or Brady Quinn or Jeff Samardzija being called up for the 1,000,000th time.
Instead, it has to do with me.
As some readers may have seen or heard already, I will be departing Fort Wayne and the Notre Dame beat permanently in a little over a week. It's been a fun ride, sometimes literally as I often made the drive of a little under four hours roundtrip whenever I needed to be in South Bend for an event, practice or press conference.
In the coming days, I'll address some of my favorite moments over the past four years, some of the things that Insights and that I have done here that will always stay with me -- this blog certainly being one of them.
So where am I going? If you're a savvy web searcher and googled my name, you might have found it although, in all honesty, I don't even think my mom does that. I am heading up to Michigan and specifically to Ann Arbor to join the staff of AnnArbor.com. While there, I'll be leading the coverage of Michigan men's basketball and helping out with Michigan football.
Yes, I realize there are some questions and if you have any, I'll be able to be reached at mrothstein@jg.net for the next week. Before I take my official leave on July 14, I'll post a place where people can keep in contact with me. And of course, you can visit my new place of blogging/reporting when I start there in less than two weeks.
They'll be more about this in the coming days, including a goodbye post/note/letter on my final day. So consider this a one-week warning.
Before this post ends, I'd like to say thank you to you, the readers, for the past four years. There have been times you've disagreed with me and sent nasty e-mails. I'm sure there are some that are plenty glad to see me go.
And there are countless others, too, who have sent supportive e-mails along the way. Both sides have provided me great joy as the give-and-take with readers is part of what made this job -- and this blog -- so enjoyable.
Either way, you'll be missed.
