I am happy to report we will be implementing another one of your suggestions for improving the blog. Various people suggested a year ago that we have guest blogging to allow regulars a chance to make entries on the blog. With my upcoming speech in France, I thought it would be a great time to try this out for a week from October 31st to November 6th. I have selected three of our best known and most respected regulars: David Drumm (aka Nal), Elaine Magliaro (aka Elaine M) and Mark Esposito (aka Mespo). They will be blogging every day for that week (including on November 7th if they have any material left). They will be signing their entries and will have the full run of the blog. I am very grateful to them and I am very excited to see their work in the coming week.
Unfortunately, I could not include all of our regulars and there are a number of you that I would have liked to add as guest bloggers on this round. However, I thought three was a good number for the coming week. There will be more such opportunities and innovations coming, I assure you.
Until then, congratulations to David, Elaine, and Micheal — and thanks again!

Oh, and Congratulations to all three on a well earned honor.
So, the question is: Who’ll have the guilty pleasure of posting the first correction to Nal?
This is exciting! Thank goodness I voted with an absentee ballot, so I can spend all week on the computer.
The honors are deserved, Nal, Elaine M. and Mespo. Congratulations!
Elaine, My money would be on “no”… 🙂
Congrats to all of you — Elaine M., mespo and Nal. I’m looking forward to what’s coming and know that you won’t disappoint… (A great idea and superb choices.)
Nal,
I guess I could paraphrase Larry Verne too.

P.S. You’ll just have to guess whether I googled Larry Verne or not.
To paraphrase Larry Verne, what am I doin’ here?
/Bonus points to those who know who Larry Verne is, without googling.
Nal, Elaine M., and mespo…..We are in good hands….
Good choices. Elaine is such a consistent and poster. It will be election week, and I hope not too many scary tea partiers win. They have some wild stories to write about but not muck knowledge about governing. Sharon Angle according to Rachel Maddow has the most racist ads out there but there is a wide array of witches, thugs, nazis, anarchists ,homophobes, etc. etc. to choose from.
I am filled with anticipation and can hardly wait to see what subjects mespo, Elaine, and Nal choose to illuminate.
I believe I will take to my bed the week preceding their time in the sun so as to rest my brain and gather the strength I know will be needed to sit for hours in front of my computer responding to their thoughtful words.
I do hope the Professor will join us occasionally with Paris-tinged comments.
Excellent choices. I’m sure we’ll have an interesting and enlightening week, but you, good sir, will have Paris!! Enjoy.
To paraphrase Lee Trevino, I feel like I’m standing over an 8′ putt with $100.00 riding and $10.00 in my pocket!
that should be a very interesting week.
Excellent choices one and all.
We’ll be in good hands while your gastric system is put to the red wine and high cholesterol test of French cuisine, Prof. A delicious mouth-watering test.
Congrats to all. Have fun in Paris, Prof. T.
Elaine M,You go girl:=)
Mespo,I’m always learning something in your penetrating thoughts and expression.
Nal,The above comment to Mespo applies to you and Elaine M also.
Congrats to you all.
Congratulations to the three of you. That is an extreme honor and
an excellent choice of the professors part.
Professor,
Outstanding choices.
Considerate, compassionate, polite, intelligent – all of them.
and hilarious at times.
