*Ø* Blogmanac | Blogmanac news and hospital call
Welcome back Nora!
I'm pleased to pass on the news that Nora Ui Dhuibhir has come back to the Blogmanac team. As you might recall, Nora had to leave recently due to ill health; she is still, unfortunately, having a pretty rough time with that, but our Irish correspondent wants to continue sharing her insightful and often funny posts with Blogmanac readers. I'm delighted Nora's back and look forward to reading her messages again. Nora tells me she might not be able to post as often as before, but I'm just happy that we'll be hearing from her at all. Good health, Nora, and welcome back!

News on J-9
Meanwhile, this is probably an appropriate time to share with you about Jeannine ('J-9') Wilson, another of our team members. J-9 is one of our two American correspondents, and, like Nora, she too has been seriously ill. As many readers will know, she is currently battling cancer. She sends news that she is moving house this week and that she was given a laptop. This latter is great news because she hasn't been well enough to sit up at the computer. Jeannine sounds excited and brimming with optimism that soon she'll be able to communicate with the world again, from her bed. So maybe we'll be hearing from our Indiana, USA correspondent some day soon. No pressure, J-9, but it will be great if we have you on board soon. And our good wishes for a speedy recovery go out to you today.

Coming up for 1,000
I notice that the script in the masthead today says: "This is the blog for Wilson's Almanac free, illustrated ezine which was founded on the first day of the millennium, January 1, 2001, 994 daily editions ago." So it's less than a week until we celebrate 1,000 days on the wires! Somehow, I've managed to send out Wilson's Almanac ezine nearly each one of those days, and I hope to continue as long as possible (though with the relentless toothache I have this week, anything's possible, including mass murder/suicide). If you'd like a subscription, there's a box in the right-hand column of this page.

Veralynne's blog going strong
Our other Blogmanac team member is Veralynne Pepper, from Texas, USA. Have you seen her excellent blog, A Changin' Times? Veralynne (Vee to her friends) also has an international team of correspondents complementing her own cutting-edge work on ACT the Blog, and what a team it is. ACT is definitely one to bookmark, particularly for news, current affairs and opinion on the crucial issues of our day. And look for Vee's great posts here at the Blogmanac. Vee, please look after your health. You might have to hold this whole gig together.
