Where have I been?

My friends, I want to apologize for my negligent behavior these past days, my friends. You see, my friends, I lost myself observing the Day of Atonement, and then writing about what it was like to be an actual synagogue-going sort-of Jew. And then, my friends, I spent all weekend writing a cover story for this week’s paper on the presidential election. It was a real bear, my friends, and now I’ve got to finish digging up a pretty interesting story I stumbled across last week. But, my friends, rest assured that I’ll be active on the blog.

(Did everyone else find those two words, repeated over and over, as nauseating as I did?)
