In my original blog post a year ago I mentioned Dave Barry was going on hiatus and said he’d announce more after a year. I predicted this hiatus would probably be permanent. Today he announced that it would, indeed, be permanent. The newswire story says it all. Or read the official interview and statement if you prefer.
I am angry that I cannot read ‘new’ Dave anymore, but I am happy that he’s doing something that makes him happy. I guess we call it mixed emotions. Good luck to Dave. I guess we’re all stuck buying books from now on, not that it’s a bad thing.
Dave, we hardly knew ye’
