on hiatus due to family emergency
Laurel’s Dad had a heart attack and needs quadruple bypass surgery. She’s been a bit busy helping her family, including doing some work for her Dad’s company.
She’s also had some health issues of her own to contend with.
She hopes to be back to posting TV Picks and TV DVD reviews as usual soon. There are a number of ways to find out when she updates listed in the sidebar. If you sign up for the email list, be sure to watch for the confirmation email message so you can complete the sign-up up process.

Thanks for letting us know, Laurel. I was hoping your absence wasn’t due to illness or other sad occasion and I am sorry to know about this hard time. I will for sure keep you, your Dad, and your family in my thoughts, especially tomorrow morning.

Sorry to hear about your dad … I’m sending good thoughts and prayers your way.
I’ve been an avid lurking consumer of your TV information for years. It’s only when you’ve been absent that I realize how much I truly appreciate your site. Maybe someday I’ll be in financial shape to contribute.
