Jim Slotek writes, "Okay, an announcement... not so much the end of an era as the end of an epoch. After - (cough!) - 33 years in the joint, I have asked for and received a buyout from the Toronto Sun, effective April 14. I will probably give myself some down time before I hang out the "Will write for food" sign. (Interviews, scripts, speeches, award show banter, menus, I've done it all, pass the word)."

Jim. I'll miss you.  Thanks for all the great years of what you do best.  You'll be missed.
