I’ve Gone Fishing…

New Content Coming Next Week

As I write this, it is exactly one month to the day since I was involved in an accident that ended with me in the hospital for three days. That was a frightening wake-up call that resulted in my medical team shifting into high gear and conducting all sorts of assessments, diagnoses…and, recommendations for an effective recuperation process.

The doctors tell me that the key to a full recovery, one that gets me back to my pre-accident level of health, is to embrace the recuperative process. While I understand the logic of that thought, the reality is that some of the advice they offer clashes with my daily realities.

For example, the first recommendation – that my doctor delivered pretty forcefully (he knows me) – is to take a couple of months and really relax. “Slow your pace down, take some time off, knock off early, play a little hookey,” he says as if that’s an easy thing to do.

Between scanning for pertinent stories, researching them thoroughly, writing a first draft, finding and adding graphics, and engaging in sometimes multiple rounds of editing and rewrites, it’s a lot of work to grind out a newsletter every week. Not to mention, speaking with sources, conducting interviews, investigating new avenues, attending press events, and more – time for “relaxation” is elusive.

However, this week, I have decided to take some time away to relax and recharge my batteries. Or as I put it…I’ve gone fishing.

As a result, there will be no regular newsletter, no new stories, or any topical updates this week. I will be back next week with all-new content.

I appreciate your understanding and patience as I continue to build up my strength and endurance.

I’ll see you then!
