Perhaps you noticed (and if you were one of the readers who emailed me about it I assume you did), but there was no Cocktail Thursday last week. I'd like to say that there was some symbolic reason for it, or that it was a well-planned editorial decision. But that wouldn't be accurate. The truth is I was busier than a boy dog with three....things I really needed to focus on. The result? A beat down of the Head Ball Coach the likes of which the Bulldogs had never laid before. Which puts a semi-superstitious blogger like me in a quandary.
