One day we took a hiatus
Which we thought would be quite brief
Then we happened to look at our calendars
And uttered aloud: Good Grief!
So many months have passed
With nary a word from we two
It’s really nothing personal
We truly appreciate you.
So, please do hang on
Just a little while longer
While we work out some things
To emerge even stronger.
We’ll return to your inbox
In just a few more weeks
Until then, go ahead and offer us feedback
Suggesting big or little tweaks.
And here’s the non-rhyming version (because, well, poetry is not exactly our thing):
Dear Readers,
Maybe you’ve noticed we’ve been gone. Maybe you haven’t. Maybe you miss us. Maybe you don’t.
Well, we certainly have noticed, and we want to assure you that we miss you. Our intention was to take a few weeks off. Alas, as life can be unpredictable and send best plans astray, a few weeks morphed into a long and winding road. Nothing bad, nothing dramatic - just life. It sometimes gets in the way.
But rest assured, we will return when we have the time we fully need to devote ourselves to you. If you want to unsubscribe (but we hope you don’t), we won’t take offense. And we promise you we’ll be back, bringing you the same reliable and relatable coverage we’ve always delivered.
In the meantime, feel free to drop us a line or two and tell us what you’d like to read about when we return; we’d love to hear from you!
No worries. We can wait a bit longer. Thanks for the update.
