Apology to the readers

Assuming there are any, aside from Ted: but I feel bad, for some strange reason, thus this post. Anyway, I am sorry to say that, due to the somewhat unsettled nature of my life right now, I will not be writing about Brooks's column of Tuesday, Feb. 1 (which will be a great weight off of Brooks's mind, assuming he has such a thing). I am still hopeful of writing about Brooks's next column.
