I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from all of you out there. I actually considered turning off comments for that fateful post, not wanting to compel people to express their condolensces. But Elisa (Mrs. Kos) talked me out of it, and I'm glad she did. While it was hard to read everyone's messages, it was good for both of us to see that we weren't alone in this very traumatic moment. You have all been a godsend.

While I may be in little mood to blog, I still read the news. And, I will call out any that seem of particular interest. So while I may not be in full "analyst" mode for a while (until after Thanksgiving), there should still be plenty of conversation fodder to go around.
