These Days Even Animals Are Getting Fur-Loughed

April

Ouch, sorry about that pun. But just a couple of program notes. I will not be around next week because of a planned furlough. That’s the state of things. So no column, no blogging until I return to the grist mill at the end of the month.

For the few dogged (damn, another bad pun) loyalists who listen to my “High Noon” radio show on WVOX, I apologize now for failing to notify you in advance that there was to be no show yesterday. The reason was that I attended a writers’ day program at the Mark Twain Middle School in Yonkers. As always, the kids were bright, attentive and asked very good questions. Sample: Do you ever regret some of the columns you’ve written? I won’t repeat the long reply I gave to the class, but I’ll give you my short answer. Yes.

Despite the hiatus, I will resume the “High Noon” show at the regular day and time next week. That’s Thursday, April 23 at 12 noon. 1460 AM or wvox.com. We’ll be talking to Dennis Robertson, a former councilman from Yonkers who is seeking the Democratic nomination for council president.

No Phil,

I will not be listening to your talk radio.
(I despise talk radio… nothing personal)

I DID used to enjoy your piquant, amusing, insightful print columns, but they seem to have gone the way of the carrier pigeon. Too bad.

If Shakespeare’s plays & sonnets had been reduced to advertising trailers for a talk radio show…..
would they have ended up being as good?

We can never know, can we?
