Hiatus

My father passed away today, so I won't be posting for a few days. Or if I do, it won't be funny. Or if it is, it will be the kind of inane, giddy funny that you use to set off the constant sobbing.

Now that all the joy has been sucked out of the room, feel free to continue with the smart alecry here while I'm gone. By the time I'm back to read it, I'll be ready for some laughing.

    Thanks again, everyone. My posts are likely to have a twinge of poignancy for a while yet, but as of today, I’m back. And really looking forward to sweeping the Cards to overtake first place.
