Dear Reader

It saddens me to inform you that there will be no 2007 edition of the Cosmo Doogood's Urban Almanac. The previous editions simply have not sold enough copies to cover their costs.

I've loved editing and publishing the almanac. I've learned things I never imagined knowing—about the rhythms of the sun, moon, planets and stars, the workings of the weather, and the wondrous habits of various urban flora and fauna. I've savored the wit and wisdom of countless poets and pundits. I even learned some important urban survival strategies, like how to un-stick a stuck tongue. And many of the people I've met, both contributors and readers, have become friends for life.

Cosmo may live to see another day, perhaps as a quarterly magazine, supported by ads. Or as an insert in a Franklin Covey or Day-Timer calendar. Or, as a daily, web-based information service. Or, or...who knows? If Cosmo does rise again, we'll spread the word far and wide. Or, you can send us your name and email address and we'll let you know about any future developments. Send to: info@cosmosurbanalmanac.com.

Thanks for your interest and support,

Still yours for a greener, kinder, and more rhythmic world,
