TMV won’t be totally out of pocket through Friday — but almost. For instance, this is written at 11 pm after JUST getting in from a day of traffic james in Orange County and two family show appearances.
Tomorrow and Thursday will have the exact same schedule — and then TMV heads to the East Coast to spend some time with The Moderate Parents who are in their Unmoderate 80s.
His posting may be light…but our always independent and provocative co-bloggers should have somethings to say.
And let’s now forget another feature of this site: the great, often pointed dialogue and virtual posts that you see under each post, comments left by readers who are nice enough to take their time to give us feedback. (In TMV’s case, he keeps trying to comply with a common reader suggestion, but as hard as he shoves his computer won’t fit up there).
So keep checking back, even though TMV himself may not be seen much the next few days (he may stick some things on a timer for Friday).
