Thanks to My Guest Bloggers

Heartfelt thanks to Deborah and Nobody in Particular for filling in during my absence. Y'all did a tremendous job...so well, in fact, that hits were roughly double what they normally are. (That was mainly Deborah's car theft post, which got a link from Ampersand.)

I should also apologize to Mr. Particular for not giving him a proper introduction (I wasn't sure beforehand that he'd be able to post). Nobody in Particular (not his real name) is another long-standing friend; he's one of the smartest, funniest people I know...and one of the finest writers. He'll be posting here on occasion, as his time permits (alas, he has a real job).

[That's all, folks]
