Is The Podunkian sick today?
Not much to read on your Webpage today.
Well funny you should ask, have been feeling under the weather the last few days, so pontificating warbling just hasn’t been my thing, hope to be a bit more inclined over the next day or so… 
We all hope that you will get better soon.
Life is just not the same without your news presentation.
I–for one–read you every day and you come across as a smart and well informed person.
All the best to you Mr. The Podunkian
By the way…what does "pontificating warbling " means?
