TT: Due to circumstances, etc.

September 10, 2007 by Terry Teachout

I came down with a rip-roaring chest cold last Tuesday, no doubt in part because of all the stuff I’ve been doing lately. Alas, I had to keep on writing and traveling throughout the week.

This morning I’m returning from yet another theater-related trip, this one to Washington, D.C., and I need some rest.
Later.
