Editors Note-Part I

As the head of the think tank Institute which is known to those in the know as The Ebb & Flow Institute, I feel it is my duty to make a short announcement. We here are the Institute had hoped to post during the holidays more of the light hearted yet deadly serious world class journalism that many...., many of you have come to expect from the Institute.

This was our wish. Our way of brightening up your days while keeping you up to date on the important events of the day. This was to be our way of giving back to the community when so many bloggers are taking it easy.

This did not happen. Rest assured we have not been taking it easy. No. We have been working on some renovations here at the Institute's World Headquarters, and we have allocated an inordinate amount of time lately caring for the infirm. You might say we have been busier than a one-legged paper hanger in a brass bra.

Please keep checking in with us, you never know when or where you might stumble across an award winning blog post, and we do love your comments on issues ranging from chewing pudding to hog rentals.

Cordialment,

Pile
