Taking the day

Good day to all.

Taking today off from newsletter writing, owing to an illness.

I’ll be resting and watching plenty of soccer today, and seeing whether the Jets can rebound tonight in Dallas from that ugly defeat in St. Paul, Minn., on Wednesday.

I hope you have a terrific weekend. Back with you on Friday, Dec. 2.

Take care.
