I told Karen that our faithful commenters had asked after her; she’s tickled by your expressions of sympathy and good will and wants well-wishers to know that she’s recovering from surgery just fine and expects to be back on the job by the last week of June.
In truth, it’s not like she’s really AWAY from the job. She’s been sending story ideas and links and gossip with the usual frequency. She’s bummed she can’t post and I’m sure she’ll have lots of thoughts on the events of the past weeks once she’s up and about.
