I'm about to temporarily cut back on blogging

The Thanksgiving turkey and I have something in common this week: We're both going under the knife.

My outcome, I hope, will be considerably better. Starting tomorrow, I'll be convalescing from shoulder surgery that will probably make it very difficult, if not impossible, to do what I'm doing now: type. And I don't know how long this will last.

The week of and after Thanksgiving are always very slow news periods, anyway. So for the time being, I'll only be posting the Real Time Comments open threads you see at the top of Gannett Blog's homepage.

  3. Sounds like a great time to start the Surrender Hopkins initiative. In 2014, the SuHop initiative will take hold.

    1. Waste of money. There are many people in need of aid at the holiday season. Hopkins is not one of them.
