Good Morning Kossacks and Welcome to Morning Open Thread (MOT) We're known as the MOTley Crew and you can find us here every morning at 0630 am Eastern time. Feel free to volunteer to take a day - permanently or just once in awhile. With the Auto Publish feature you can set it and forget it. Sometimes the diarist du jour shows up much later: that's the beauty of Open Thread...it carries on without you! Volunteer in the comment threads Click on the MOT - Morning Open Thread ♥ if you'd like us to show up in your stream. Go ahead. Do it. Don't just sit there. Make yourself feel good.
I have a confession to make. I’ve been doing this Thursday thing for way too long and I m really getting to dread having to do it. Over 6 years now. This is longer than either one of my first 2 marriages. And just like them, I never thought it would be forever and it’s starting to feel like forever
SO I’m giving 90+ days notice. As of June 1st I quit. This does not mean I won’t be coming here in the morning, just there’ll be a blank hole on Thursdays unless some public spirited person steps up.
