An announcement -- sort of.

First things first:

A few months ago, I suggested I might be retiring at the end of the summer.

I lied.

Well, OK. I didn’t lie. It was true at the time. I was in a bad place personally and didn’t think I’d want to continue writing a time or two every week.

Since that time, things have improved and I’m feeling far better. So I’m going to keep writing, keep pontificating, whatever it is I do, for another year or maybe two. So if you have any desire to get a monthly subscription, knock yourself out. And if not…no worries.

Second thing:

My wife and I are going to Jamaica from May 9 through the 15th, so I’ll miss Games 3-6 in the Pacers-Cavaliers series and will not be writing. Sorry for the unfortunate timing, but 35 years ago, I had no way of knowing my anniversary would coincide with a Pacers Eastern Conference semifinal series. My wife and I have not been on a real vacation in years and this seemed like the right time.

Ya, mon.

Just praying they’ll show the games in the resort sports bar.
