My typewriter monkeys, my reluctant assistants on this blog, have fled to parts unknown. This comes as no surprise. Their last escapade was months ago, and another one was due.

(The last time they disappeared, I found them trying to break capuchin monkeys out of the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo. It was a mess.)

My monkeys’ departure to regions unknown is actually convenient for me. (If they’d known it would be, I guarantee they wouldn’t have gone.) It gives me an opportunity to work ahead on this blog, catch up with other commitments and play the latest Ace Attorney.

In the meantime, please keep an eye out for my monkeys.

Have you seen this monkey?

This blog will return—I hope—on Wednesday, November 20. My monkeys should be back by then, and we’ll take it from there!
