THE SHOW MUST GO ON...BUT SOMETIMES, THE BLOG CAN'T.

     As someone who has spent nearly his entire adult life making a living in the world of broadcasting and entertainment, I am quite familiar with the old saying, "The show must go on."  But in show business - at least in most stage productions - a performer has an understudy who can take over the role when the regular cast member is ill.  When producing a movie - scenes can be filmed out of order; giving time for a particular actor to get better.  In television - a character can be written out of the story for a week or two.  And in radio - another talk show host or disc jockey can fill in for the personality who is under the weather.  However, none of that is the same for writing a blog.  At least not when the blog is written by one person.

     If you're a regular reader of The Controversy, you know that I usually compose a commentary everyday.  Unfortunately, a nasty virus hit my upper respiratory system on November 29th and boy did I get a doozy of an infection.  In plain English - I've been mighty sick.

     As I am still recovering from my recent kidney surgery - which I discussed at length in my first essay on Thanksgiving Day, November 22nd - I didn't need an attack from the bronchitis bug, which took every bit of strength out of me - but that's what happened.

     All that being said, I'm better now, so please bear with me and I plan to resume my daily editorial with another article to follow this explanation. 

     Please stay tuned.  Thanks very much.

     I'm Gary B. Duglin.
