I realize it's been a little while since I've written - something that I'm sure has been a concern to just about nobody. But the NHL's season cancellation yesterday has given me something worth putting down on the computer screen. First off, there's a great column in the LA Times today by my former Daily Northwestern co-worker J.A. Adande. That article can be found at this URL:

Oh, and by the way, even though the weathermen have been threatening us with rain in LA today, it's sunny and pushing 70 right now.
