Posting will continue to be sporadic until January 2 – and maybe even then!
Hence, there was no Papers column on Friday. We do have a couple new posts elsewhere on the site, however.
* Chicagoetry: More Than A Feeling.
Dude brought a rifle to school,
Naperville Central, 1978.
* The College Football Report: Specialty Yarns, Pinstripes And The Triple-Option.
Thirty-five bowl games is about a dozen too many.
But we’re on top of it. From Friday:
The College Football Report: Warhawks and Weed Eaters.
“We hated the Weed Eater as a young Reporter. The plastic string would come unspooled with no warning and the spinning head would go cartwheeling over the lawn, requiring an hour of fiddling in 90-degree temperatures and 99% humidity. In other news, we never want to own a lawn.”
* We also remain active on Twitter over this break – and surely will be doubly so during the Bears game on Sunday.
For example:
#fiscalcliff dare is like Kramer seeing how far he can drive on empty.
