If our readers have noticed over the last day or so that the flow of posts on this site have been slowing down a bit, I have an explanation.

Namely, yesterday I pulled a muscle in my back.

And now it hurts to do just about anything. So I’ve been spending a good bit of time stretched out on the floor and chewing Advils like they were Tic Tacs. And I can testify to the fact, borrowed from Kinky Friedman, that back pain is to the creative juices flowing what Obama is to the economy and pantyhose is to foreplay.

I was just about useless yesterday. And that’s why you may have noticed you didn’t get a Nooner (if you’ve signed up for it, that is) yesterday.

Today isn’t a lot better, but I’ll be doing what I can to crank up the content in here.

Just thought y’all ought to know what’s going on.
