Friday Night Buzz Thread is postponed this week. [View all]

I’m still recovering from surgery, and don’t feel well enough for my usual weekend blastoff.

I had a small glass of wine with my lunch, like a civilized person. But that’s going to be it for now.

One thing that will never change, though:

I love you all…
