We thought about putting up a bunch of posts to keep the animals (sorry!) fed every day, but that would violate our credo: no blither. When you open
WhirledView, you get substance—even if it’s light, it’s got an angle. But we aren’t a newsroom with a hundred plus go-getters. We’re just the two Pats, and our needs for fresh new experience resulted in a week in which we are both very productively occupied but unable to post. Reports will ensue. Meanwhile,
from today, Sunday, October 25, until Friday, October 30, we’ll be posting nothing new. We invite you to take a look at the archives or check out the categories for issues of interest. We haven’t the slightest idea, right now, of what will engage our interest toward the end of the week. We aren’t seers, believe it or not. But something will. It always does. As for the image, it's a mask used by Chhau dancers in West Bengal. It seems to us like a the right response when bosses (internal or external) say one can never have a day off.
