Possible upcoming publication break

As I mentioned in my Happy Trails column, my wife is currently 35 weeks pregnant, and there’s a possibility that my son’s birth may impact the production of an upcoming edition. That said, depending on when he’s born, the Sun Day may not publish its October 20, November 3, or November 17 edition, the most likely being either the October 20 or November 3 edition. So if you go to your mailbox one of those dates and not find your edition of the Sun Day, that means my son has entered this fine world. With that, please keep my wife and my son in your thoughts for a healthy and safe delivery.
