Taking a Break

I had a post written for today, but when I gave it a last review before hitting the "publish" button, I realized that it wasn't quite as ready for prime time as I thought. Instead of my usual carefully-crafted and rock-solid style ...

it seemed to have a few issues ...

Therefore, I'm taking the day off from blogging to re-work that post and try to bring it up to standards. I realize that "standards" are something with which we're unaccustomed in the age of Trump, but just work with me on this, okay.

Have a good day. I'll be back tomorrow.

More thoughts then.

Taking a Short Break

Well, Dear Readers, we're just two days out from Thanksgiving, and those are going to be very busy days. There's a house to clean*, last-minute shopping to do, and food to be prepared in advance. I'm going to be a pretty busy guy**.

And so this will be my somewhat truncated post for today. I don't plan to post anything tomorrow, but the posts for Thanksgiving Day, the Friday Editorial and Signage Gems, Cartoon Saturday, and Musical Sunday are already written and scheduled to publish. I'll be back again with my normal ranting and raving on Monday the 28th.

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. If you're following me on Facebook, I'll have occasional commentary and pictures there.

See you on Monday. More thoughts then.

* One of my friends suggested just re-routing a small river through it, but that would make the job even more herculean.

** Forget raking the leaves. I'm not raking any more leaves. Three times already is enough. Anyhow, the latest revealed wisdom says to just leave them in place to protect and fertilize the lawn. I'm good with that.

Taking a Break

I'll be taking a break from blogging until Friday, when Great Moments in Editing and Signage returns. Agnes and I are going to do some fun stuff for the next few days, and I'll be concentrating on recharging my creative batteries, coming up with some new ideas to keep this blog fresh and interesting for you.

In the meantime, send in your "Ask Bilbo" questions and I'll answer them on Monday.

Have a good day and stay cool over the next few days ... limit your outdoor activity, drink plenty of water, take lots of breaks in the shade or the AC, and I'll see you on Friday.

More thoughts then.
