Taking a Break

I'll be taking a break for a week. My brother-in-law (i.e., the famous IBIL) is in town and will want for a lot of attention and hand holding. I'll still post the ones that are in the system, so to speak, i.e., have been written and set to post a future time, but won't have time for any new ones until sometime early next week.

When I get out of jail following just a touch of assault and battery and attack with a moderately-deadly weapon...

No, I am sure that the best possible behavior will be exhibited on all sides, and we'll come through the week with nothing worse than just a few skinned knuckles.

See you all next week and thanks for reading.

Taking Some Time Off

You know that old expression, "the hurrieder I go the behinder I get". Well, that's me. Now that it's spring-ish in Western Washington, She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed has come up with a number of "essential" duties for me to perform, mainly of the outdoors-in-the-yard kind, so I'm taking some time off from my regular life to keep peace in the family. Those of you with a "significant other" will know what I'm talking about.

Catch you all later.

I'm Back -- Just in Time to Be Gone Again

I wrapped up the newsletter (it's an eight-page tabloid that is a lot like origami, fitting stories and ads to the available space) late this morning, sent it to the printer, and had a little party to thank the people who helped me put it together.

No rest for the wicked, they say... Now I have a busy weekend planned. This weekend is the statewide Democratic Party yearly meeting, complete with a reception with our new Democratic governor tomorrow night. And then of course it's the Super Bowl (I have money on the 49ers, the West Coast team) on Sunday, so there goes the whole weekend.

I'll be back next week.As always, thanks for reading.

Taking a Week Off

I need some time off. I'm still editor of the Thurston County Democrats newspaper, and I have a deadline looming up at me on Friday. I need to free up some time to get it out.

See you all next week.
