Dave Barry’s retirement.<\/a><\/p>\n

I think It’s because I couldn’t envision it happening.<\/p>\n

There have been times when I’ve gone weeks, even months, between glimpses at Dave Barry’s column. Then I’d rush over one day in a fit of enthusiasm and gorge. I’d recall all the special moments we shared pondering low flow toilets and war with Canada. Ok, I shared them. I don’t know that he’s aware of my existence. But still.<\/p>\n

What I’m trying to say is I took him for granted, and now his column is over. I feel like I should have read him more frequently. I should have laughed more. I think I might have to wear black for a while.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, maybe he’s going to write another book. I hope so. <\/p>\n

Thanks, Mr. Barry, for the many, many laughs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
