Readers may recall a few weeks back where I mentioned that there was a major health challenge in my family. It remains, but we do have a plan of attack.
That will occur this Tuesday, and a 5.5 hour surgery at one of the country’s top medical centers is involved. The operation is not on me, but my lovely wife.
As a result, I’ll be pretty much offline this week. But there is good news in all of this.
WUWT has a life of its own now. It will continue without my help, thanks to the tireless work of guest authors, our moderation team, and of course the tips and notes brought in by our volume of readers.
Since this will be a lighter than usual week, guest posts and news items are welcome.
Along those lines, as I mentioned in comments here, I extended a guest post to Tamino, since he thinks my presentation of Arctic sea ice is all wrong. I formally extend that offer again for him to do a post on Sea ice this week, either or both hemispheres, with the only caveats being that it has to be published free of any insults and that all comments must be accepted that fit within our blog policy.
If anyone has ideas for a guest post, flag a moderator. “Charles the moderator” can publish guest posts. Just leave him a note and he or somebody will contact you.
I leave WUWT in capable hands. Barring complications, I’ll likely return late this week or this weekend.
Thank you for your consideration. – Anthony

There seems to be evidence of Global Warming on this blog: on closer inspection I see that it is emanating from the warm hearts and good wishes of your correspondents. I would like to add a few more degrees to that warmth.
And as Winston Churchill has been invoked by Douglas DC, may I offer another of his great axioms: ‘KBO’: keep buggering on!
I know what a difficult time this can be for all concerned and would just like to add my thoughts, prayers and good wishes for your good lady to those expressed above.
Anthony
Best wishes for you and your wife. I look forward to hearing news of a successful recovery.

You and yours are in my prayers.
I’ll contribute what I can
Good luck with the surgery.
Much respect Anthony.
Good luck and best wishes to your wife, and to you.
From the French contingent.
Best wishes
Good wishes to your bride, with a few left over for yourself and the rest of your family.
Best wishes to your wife for a speedy recovery
Best wishes to you, your wife and family, Anthony.
My sincerest best wishes to you and your wife.
Your role as the true honest broker in the climate wars is greatly appreciated but take all the time you need to look after your family needs. The climate won’t change much in 1,000 years, let alone a couple of weeks.
Every blessing to you both.
Best wishes to you and yours, Anthony.
Hope everything turns out well.
Best wishes for a successful outcome to your wife’s surgery, Anthony!
Tell the medics that we’ll cut off their Whisky supply unless everything comes OK.
Seriously, all Scotland wishes a speedy recovery.
