TT: Handing off

February 14, 2006 by Terry Teachout

Sorry to be so unforthcoming, but the joint is jumping. I wrote all day yesterday and I’ve got to write all day today, after which I’ll go hear the Lascivious Biddies at Makor (you come, too!). On Wednesday morning I’ll be heading out of town yet again, returning just in time for a Friday-night preview of the Broadway revival of The Pajama Game on Friday night. I’m not taking my computer with me, either. Instead, I’m leaving my routine postings for Our Girl to publish, and I expect she’ll be putting up a few things of her own as well.


See you next week. Happy Valentine’s Day!
