So as you all know, I took a few days off after banging on through the July 4th holiday with stories and podcasts. I was pumped to get back home and rev up for a slew of new stories in the works, as well as fresh contributions from SpyTalk’s estimable stable of contributing writers and editors.

Then, bang!

On an overnight in New York at oh-dawn-30 Monday, a wicked bad germ infiltrated my teeth and laid me low. Had stage one of emergency care today, more tomorrow. So: mouth sore … but spirits high. We’ll be back as soon as possible with a raft of new stories, reviews and exclusives. Because you, Dear Reader, are always first in our thoughts. Seriously. And the spies need our attention.

Many, many thanks for your patience.
