I don’t often put personal notes here, but I just wanted to let all of my readers know that I’m taking a week off while I take care of some much-needed surgery on December 15th.
It’s nothing too serious—I’m having my gallbladder removed—but I suspect a few days will be spent in bed instead of at the computer. (On the bright side, I’m hoping to get a lot of reading done.) And as bile is a reviewer’s best friend at times, I figure it would be best to wait until it levels back out before jumping back into the reviewing seat.
Expect a limited number of reviews for the last two weeks of the year (with the holidays, it will be a reduced schedule) and then back to full steam in 2009!

Good luck, Greg! Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Best of luck, Greg! I had mine out under unexpected circumstances, it’s definitely better to do it as a planned surgery rather than a “I went into the emergency room not knowing what was wrong with me.” :)
Rest up and enjoy your new bile-free bod!
Same from me. Hopefully you get well quickly and can enjoy the holidays!
Thanks all — healing is happening, although of course not as fast as I’d want. But at least I’m up and about now, which is a good thing indeed!
