Hile Gunslingers, 

I am saddened to announce that I am leaving Dark Tower Palaver. I got a new job with the United States Post Office. I decided to make the change in career to better provide for my family. With the nature of the job I no longer have regular days off, especially when I first start. I am very sad that I can’t continue on the path of the beam with you all. I will forever be grateful for all of your love and support (and emojis) over the years. When I get to be a regular my schedule might become more regular and if Tadd will have me I would love to come back. I will leave that door open for now. Remember the face of your Fathers. 

Long days and pleasant nights.

Peter
