As at least four of you have probably noticed, the daily Short List has not appeared in this space since last Thursday. While I appreciate all the cards, flowers and well-wishing e-mails, I assure you that I am fine and have not taken ill with some terminal disease.
Instead, everyone at CL has been hard at work putting the finishing touches on both this year's Best of the Bay issue, which hits the paper boxes starting tomorrow, and the Best of The Bay Awards Show (aka The Loafies) which will be held on Mon., Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. at the Tampa Theatre.
Check back tomorrow for more details on the issue and the show, and for the triumphant return of the Short List. In the meantime, feel free to talk among yourselves about tasered UF students, O.J., the declining dollar, Apple's plans for the European iPhone, and whatever improbable thing Bush is doing now.
