No blogging tonight, sorry.

Sorry, folks, but there won't be any blogging from tonight's game between the Patriots and Saints at the Louisiana Superdome.

Part of the reason, of course, is that I won't be there. But a previously scheduled medical procedure scheduled for early Tuesday morning will force me to turn in early tonight, so I won't be able to post the "hots and nots" (I won't be compiling them) and the game notes that the Patriots' PR department usually sends after the game.

That same procedure will also unfortunately prevent me from covering either of the area's two high school football playoff games on Tuesday. But I will post my predictions for them later this afternoon.

I should be back to full-blogging mode by Wednesday, which will include posting of the 30th Audio Blog of the season.
