First time ever, in my years of blogging, I’m getting more readers in the UK today than the U.S. I know they’re not visiting for our weather. — John

Chris and Kathleen Matthews Show Gets the Hook
Aside
Three days experimentation with a Chris and Kathleen Matthews show was enough. The results are in. Thursday, Chris Matthews is flying solo as he wraps up a week filling in for Andrea Mitchell at 1 p.m. He’s smiling broadly and asking his patented long-winded questions. Still on is MSNBC’s plan to air the Chris Matthews Show exclusively at 7 p.m. That’s MSNBC and Chris Matthews opposite CNN and Erin Burnett, starting Monday.

Aside
Something’s different here. Work In Progress has been redesigned. We’ve switched to a new WordPress theme, “Twenty Thirteen,” which I think is a cutting-edge and readable design. Change is good for you.

Hurricane Sandy, Note No. 1
Aside
CALM BEFORE THE STORM — Hurricane Sandy might become disorganized into a big Tropical Storm by the time she hits Maryland. Or she might roll right over Baltimore as a Cat. 1 Hurricane. Or, if she stays over the Atlantic, Sandy could be Cat. 2 by the time she hits NYC. If she comes inland, hope she at least keeps moving! I don’t want her stopped by cold air from the north, dumping rain and possibly snow on my house for three straight days! — John
