Editor's note
You won't have McCabe to kick around anymore. Well, not for a month, anyway.
I'm taking some time off to spend with the new woman in my life -- my brand new daughter, who is slated to come home soon after entering the world under trying circumstances. (It's a long story -- suffice it to say this kid is 10 times as tough as I could ever hope to be.)
I'll be leaving the Reporter in the capable hands of Bronwyn Chester while I'm gone, so you ought to phone/fax/e-mail her with the questions and proposals you generally send my way.
See you in May.
