Back on March 4, Chronicle columnist Rick Casey announced he was about to take a sabbatical:
WHEN I began writing this column two newspapers ago, I was 40 years old, had never worked for anyone more than two years and was living in my eighth city.
Now, seemingly suddenly, it’s 20 years later.
Obviously, something needs to be done.
No, I’m not moving or quitting. I’m having too much fun for that.
But I am taking a sabbatical. For the next five months, I intend to relax, read and reflect without being within two days of a deadline.
It’s been just over five months now, but there’s still no sign of The Plagiarist.
Surprisingly, we find ourselves missing the guy just a little bit, if only because of LiveJournal-like hair-fare such as today’s effort from Lisa Falkenberg.
