A quick sweep through some in-house stuff:

1) The now-weekly chat will not be tomorrow, but instead at 1 p.m. Friday. I travel tomorrow — more on that in a moment — and rather than ditch it, I decided to delay it. As always, you can drop your questions into the queue now. Click here.

2) Texts From Game Day will go on, but with a disclaimer. For this week, it’s “Fledgling Texts From Game Day.” Long and ridiculous story short, the Moto Q9C froze yesterday and I had to reset it. When I reset it, as instructed, I fried the phone, which is just lovely.

It was supposed to be delivered to my house today, but there’s been a dopey detour. It will arrive tomorrow and I’ll be long gone. The effect of these repeated phone frustrations could have replaced my haircut today.

An anonymous minion — this person will get credit if this works out, otherwise I’m protecting this person right now — will try to conduct the Texts procedure in my stead. So send your texts and cross your fingers … in that order.

3) No Friday Feedback. I had to decide between chat and F Double and there aren’t enough hours in the day for both. For that, I apologize, but we’re trying to build the chats. F Double is solid.

That said, your satire was on a Bombay Sapphire level … top shelf, that is. Thanks, as always. I’ll have some down time during the open week, so maybe I circle back.
