From the Editor in Chief, U.S., and Publisher

Hello all,

Love means never having to say you’re sorry. So then we shall spare you the mea culpa to which you have rightfully become accustomed after a long hiatus. As we mentioned before, Chris Weekly went dark for an indefinite period of time to mourn the tragic death/murder of Chris’s favorite Redskin, #21 Sean Taylor. Coupled with a bout of intense malaise on the part of our editorial staff [cough cough], it was difficult for CW management to make light of Chris’s life when he and his brothers were hurting so. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our more self-centered readers.

So what did you miss last week? Not much to be honest. But then again if you were looking for breaking news on a Dateline/Investigative Reports level, you would have quit reading some time ago.

Chris has been largely dealing with vehicular woes. The CW staff vehicle has officially been put out to pasture, and selfless as he is, Chris happily donated his now-running VW to the cause, so should there be any breaking news on a Dateline level henceforth, we’ll be there. He also chugged along during another 40-HOUR work week, and enjoyed some cozy, home-cooked meals in the evenings, and by enjoyed we mean reheated. The weekend brought the now-requisite Friday-night trip to Eamonn’s; a healthy dose of 90210; a healthy dose of athletics, with Virginia Tech nailing a triumphant rematch against Boston College on Saturday, and the Redskins trying to block out a heartbreaking loss against Buffalo on Sunday, the first game since Taylor’s death; and a trip to PF Chang’s on Saturday evening.

Had Chris not lost his bank card at PF Chang’s, clearing the path for some desperate woman in Maryland to get her Christmas shopping done on his dime, the weekend would have been aces. Actually, we both were victims of fraudulent purchases this past week, as the Chris Weekly corporate Visa was charged for about 30 dollars in software from the Ukraine. Chris would like his fans to learn from his misfortune, and suggests checking dwindling bank accounts online every few minutes like he.

Now, without further ado, let us join Chris in celebrating his favorite holiday. No, not the start of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. Dec. 5 in Chrisland is:

REPEAL DAY!, which celebrates the repeal of Prohibition on Dec. 5, 1933.

Here at CW, we love Christmas. While it’s religious in nature and mandates a financial commitment, we just love big holiday meals, giving gifts and spending time with family. But Repeal Day has some principles we can easily swallow. Check it out and pour a tall one for Sean Taylor. Chris likes ‘em strong and we’re willing to bet Sean did too.
