Holdout Ends; Mondesi Returns to Work

The holdout is over. I've reached a multi-year deal with a mutual option to keep me blogging for a long time. I must thank my brother, a.k.a. "Ramon Mondesi", for his work in my absence. It was his first foray into blogging, and probably his last. When I asked him what he thought of running the site for a few days, he told me, "I like reading it better."

Ramon proved adept at linking, copying & pasting inflammatory articles about the Tennessee Titans, and Pirate recaps. His work on posting photos? Let's just say that's a work in progress. But I must thank him for a job well done.

If you sent an email last week and never got an answer, please don't take it personally. There's an avalanche of them and there's no way I'll get to look at each and every one. I have ample work to catch up on, but new, regular updates are right around the corner. For the moment, I need to dive into this 17-page Steelers hotel requirement document and get briefed on anything else above or below the radar from the last week.

If there's something fresh that you feel is link-worthy, drop me a line at mondesishouse@gmail.com and I'll get it in the next edition of The News.
