The Scrawl is trying to get back to a more regular schedule. Thank you all for your contributions and support.

Actually, in a much smaller way, the Daily Scrawl is celebrating a small anniversary of its own: our three month anniversary. But we… Read full post »

This finally catches us up with the backlog from the recent hiatus. An extensive, wide-ranging and, I hope, enjoyable list for your weekend delectation. Thank you all for your picks and please keep those selections coming in. Happy reading.

Sorry for the longer than expected time away from the job. Spring Break was followed by an attack of the thing that's going around, and even worse, finishing our taxes and starting on yard work (yes, it's finally spring in non-Hoboken). Thank you all for keeping your picks… Read full post »

This one's got to last the next couple of days, as Critical Mess is going to be engaged in family matters this weekend. Thank you for all your comments and picks and please keep those picks coming in. Ciao.

Though Hump Day is generally the Daily Scrawl's day of rest, yesterday was taken up with the Tech Team getting the links (without which the Scrawl is nothing) unsnarled. They did a great job in record time, and so we forego our break today to toast the Techs of OS. To… Read full post »

I am quite overwhelmed by all the kind comments on the Scrawl's End of Month 1 Wrap.  I wish I could respond to each of you individually like some of those never-ending Oscar speeches, but in lieu of that, THANK YOU,… Read full post »
