If you're wondering what happened to No Holds Barred yesterday, I have answers. Sorta. The hard drive at Blog Central crashed. So, the blogmeister had to rebuild the thing. Which provided an opportunity to change a thing or two -- like the name. It's now called Hot Potatoes, like my former print column. And that will reflect a new direction I want to incorporate into this on-line column -- more commentary ... and even a play on the old Hot Potatoes' theme. My software's a little different, so it'll take awhile to figure things out. Meanwhile, I'm b-a-a-a-ck and rarin' to go. (Also, don't tell my wife ... I now can blog from home.)
