TTFN (or Ta-Ta for Now)

Dear Readers

The opinionated old cow is moving on. No, not to the slaughterhouse, but to the greener pastures she’s been eyeing recently.

The cow has already had quite a run, circling the globe each week and – according to the blogspot tracker – winding up with a readership of over 17,000 in 58 countries (though neither she nor I knows a soul in 31 of them!). Such is the remarkable power of the internet.

She’s also appeared in the print version of the International Herald Tribune and the web version of the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune.

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed having a weekly platform for our rants, and been delighted with the hundreds of messages we’ve received in return.

Now new adventures beckon. Watch this space for less frequent – and shorter – moos.

Alena S.
