Darkness goes dark to allow for the filling of certain bank accounts

Over the next three or four weeks, I am plying my trade and teaching a course of news skills to Louisianans. It's a double-shift kind of job - seven hours teaching, four hours preparation, three hours pure sleepless anxiety in the early days of the course. But all work makes Jack cranky. You never know what I'll be able to see and comment on during a winkless night. Mark your calendars for Halloween.

And in the meantime, don't miss The Woodsman: simple, unrelenting, unflinching, and a complete success.
