9-27-2013. E-mails ask, "What's with the note?" I (Jim) usually do this every edition.
This was the second one without any details (until now). The week's edition before this was a nightmare and Ava and C.I. had no interest in participating in the note. Usually, I type it up and get input as I type. I knew not to press them, they wee that upset and frustrated.
For this edition?
Sunday, they wrote the TV piece I asked for and did so early Sunday morning before heading off for LA and the Emmys.
And then?
We didn't have enough content so I caught C.I. on the phone at an Emmy after party and got her to agree to do "The KRG Elections" piece with me.
This was actually a pretty well varied edition with a little bit of everything.
This Sunday, the plan is to do a piece on comics -- I think we did that last in July. It may have been June.
Anyway, this is just a mini-note since a number of you feel short changed by the lack of a note.
Everyone except Ava, C.I. and Jess worked on the editorial, the home remodel and the TESR test kitchen pieces. Mike and the gang did the highlights. Jess wrote his own piece.
Most popular piece?
With over 100,000 views, it's Ava and C.I.'s TV article.
Peace.
