I’m back home in Houston, sitting in my happy leather chair with a happy little cat just burbling and twisting away under my hand.
Yes, when a catblogger says he’s typing with one hand, it’s not about porn.
I spent the weekend celebrating my grandmother’s 90th birthday in the part of Illinois immortalized as “Shermer” in John Hughes’ various movies.
I have returned to find zero (0) New Orleans emergency-tourists in my home. I was expecting ten or twelve.
This can mean only one thing: I have to fix my own drinks.

All of the IMAO Podcast subscribers know what I’m talking about.
To everyone else, I’m just that low-quality arrogant prick with empty threats that forces “The Great Frank J” to be unfunnny…
…but the real fans know the secret and are laughing at everyone else!
The cool kids can talk about it in the IMAO Podcast Forum

Phony union holiday… but I’m not too proud to take a paid day off when given it.
Hi, it’s Frank J., elder statesman and sometime IMAO contributor. Sorry about the IMAudiO vacation, but we’ve done fourteen shows now (full archives now available) and it’s a very work intensive labor of love (especially for Scott who edits all the bits and adds music; that’s his weekend). We hope to one day get money for this (and would love any ideas on promoting the show; we’re currently brainstorming ourselves – oh, and thanks to everyone who has voted for our show), but, right now, we just do it because we love each and every one of you.
We have an awesome show in the works which will come out next Monday. Until then, enjoy the great blogging of IMAO (I’ll be resuming tomorrow with a new In My World™) and make sure to join our IMAudiO forum to chat with your favorite celebrities – the IMAO cast!
Later, ronin.
