Remember how a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, good ole Chris C. crossed the stormy Atlantic in the Starship Enterprise, boldly going where (supposedly) no man had gone, in search of brave new worlds and a breed of puppy that wouldn't shed too much or get seasick, even though his horoscope had specifically warned him that he wouldn't find it because where did he think the saying "sick as a dog" came from anyway? By gum! If it weren't for him we wouldn't be getting the day off! Thanks for that, Chris!

Allow me to distract you with a donut
while I explain that, as you well know, today's post should be Straight From The Editor, but thanks to Chris C. everyone was doing other things this weekend, and I didn't receive anything from the editor to post. Not only that, but the exciting surprise I promised didn't come either! I think they forgot it was Chris's day and no one would be at work.
So I am left flat-footed and feeling very guilty for leading you on in a much more teasing fashion than I intended because now you'll have to wait until Wednesday... or possibly longer.
So you'll know when I know, but I'm not making any more promises about dates! (It's not good for my credibility!) Meanwhile, please join me Wednesday for Something Chocolate and Would You Read It with Christie!
And to make up for not coming through with the surprise, I will share this Columbus Day riddle:
Where did Columbus first land in America?
On his feet!
Enjoy your Columbus Day, everyone! And if you have any Columbus day jokes or riddles (hopefully better than that one!) please share :)
