This issue was scheduled to be launched last night. BUT NO! when Yours Unruly returned from a quick job in San Francisco, it was to find that the recent heat wave affecting this part of the Sunbelt had caused a phone line melt-down. I couldn't access the 'Net, and thus was disabled.
Okay, no biggie. They fixed the burnt-out analog connection today and I am back in businsess.
But there's more: I had planned on publishing G21 Alumnus Chuck Nyren's piece on "Road Music" here tonight, but I trashed it in one of the many weekly clean-ups of my hard drive. AND I have so many articles in queue right now that Sunday promises to open another MAMMOTH issue.
This is known as a kvetch session.
For example, we still have my promised update on the Cambodia elections to publish(Sunday.) And JENNIFER BLUE's G21 exclusive interview with Ms. Edie Adams, the Muriel Cigar girl and widow of the late, great Ernie Kovaks, among the articles on the G21 in the coming week. Guest writer DAN VANDEMORTEL, of Morrison and Foerster LLP will be back with an assessment of the U.S. Congressional performance on issues of human rights in Northern Ireland, too.Can you understand why this article is being written in a tone of Editor-Under-Stress?
I knew you could.
Something as simple as a phone line going down can make my life a Living Hell. And that's something this medium has to overcome. We need a better and more reliable way of "publishing."
I needed to get that off my chest. Tomorrow, we'll be back on schedule.
I apologize for the delays.
