I'm Still Around

My ears were burning. My heart beat faster. Someone must have been talking about me. Lo and behold, it was my good friend Craig Gernhardt over at the Broken Heart of Rogers Park.

Craig laments that I have faded away. I know the feeling. I miss me too. Rather, I miss all of you, the good people who with wit, charm and charisma, have welcomed me into the fold of the Rogers Park blogging community. It is you who have made all my efforts worthwhile.

Craig says that I never really told you who I am. I disagree. I sign each post with my name. It's a good name and I'm proud of it.

Once again, there is speculation about my being employed by Joe Moore or his offices, which to this day remains one of my favorite paranoid conspiracy theories of all time. It's not true.

Let me prove it to you once and for all by announcing my official endorsement of a candidate for alderman of the 49th ward. It's not Joe. It's not Jim. Neither is it Chris, nor Don. It's not even Craig.

It's me.

Archie Gait. If you only vote for one aldermanic candidate this election, make it a vote for Archie.

Hell of a slogan, huh?
