About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

TT: Time for a break

February 25, 2004 by Terry Teachout

I lay down for a little nap at 4:30 yesterday afternoon, and the next thing I knew, it was nine o’clock. Yikes! In the evening, thank God, but even so, I know a warning bell when I hear it. No more blogging for me today, thank you very much.


We’ve had a couple of wild days here at “About Last Night,” incidentally. Everybody in the world seems to have linked to us for one reason or another (mostly the other). So if you’re visiting this blog for the first time and want to know more about it, click here to read an archived posting from last November that tells all. Or simply work your way down the right-hand column, which is crammed full of information about this page and its two proprietors.


Either way, I’m glad you stopped by. If you had fun, come back tomorrow…and bring a friend. The easy-to-remember alternate URL is www.terryteachout.com, which will bring you here lickety-split (as, of course, will the longer address currently visible in your browser).


Welcome. I’ll be back on Thursday. Our Girl in Chicago will keep you company until then.


P.S. Not to worry, Girl, I haven’t forgotten that you’re expecting me to come up with my own answers to those five questions. I just need some sleep first.
