I am off to the United States and Central America until 12 November, while Luc, our webmaster, will be in the U.S. as well in early November. I am going to give a lecture at a (renowned) university, attend a conference, visit old and new friends (most of them journalists), pay a family visit and try to raise some funds for this website. I do not know whether I will have time to write much, but I will try to post articles occasionally. Until mid-November this website will, however, be posting less than you have come to expect from us.

During the past 15 months The Brussels Journal has become a voice which many of you read on a regular basis. It is, however, something which Luc and I do on a voluntary basis, in addition to our other work.
