This is a holiday weekend (duh) but nonetheless we will be offering regular postings throughout the weekend, some of them perhaps a bit more personal than usual.
Today’s posts will begin a bit later than usual due to some complications last night that required TMV’s time away from his keyboard. New posts will be on this site throughout the day.
This was supposed to go on at 9 pm tonight which is Saturday on the east coast. It will be redated for tomorrow’s blog later tonight.
