Mark your calendar

If you're not doing anything this Thursday night, why don't you stop by the old Hound shack, where I'll be taking questions, offering opinions and, if asked, will share my seven-word "fish poop" argument.

Yes, there's a story behind that. You'll have to wait, though.

Either way, the festivities (I'll crack open a cold one -- I'm on vacation until May 11) begin about 10 p.m. EST.

Unlike the my past two attempts at live blogging, when I thought to myself "Gee, this would be a great time for a little impromptu live blogging," this advance notice/warning gives you remarkably intelligent humanitarians a couple days' notice.

That should be plenty of time, I hope, for a question or two to bubble to the surface. Remember, Thursday, April 30 @ 10 p.m. EST
