Dave Barry's done

The great humor writer has retired for the time being. Yes, it's quite sad. Who is there to laugh every Sunday (at least in the Washington post). I imagine his day of the week varies.
Well, in his place I'll recommend two other humor writers who now grace the pages of The Washington Post magazine. To look at both of these you need to sign up for the website, but it's free. The first writer is the great Joel Achenbach. His wacky article on skiing can be found here.
The first paragraph:
THIS IS THE PRIME SKI SEASON in the East, unless the prime season ended sometime yesterday afternoon. "Eastern skiing" is notoriously iffy, and the very phrase, like "British cuisine," makes purists wince. The material that coats the mountain is sometimes not technically snow, but rather some intermediate physical state of H2O -- a frozen plasma, hard and granular and as enticing as a big hill of road salt.
Also, check out his blog here.

The second writer is the brilliant Gene Weingarten and his Below the Beltway column.
You can get your last Barry fix in his column. Apparently Gene was Dave's editor at the Miami Herald, and the one who "discovered" him. He's well worth a read.
Even better then his columns, at least sometimes, are Gene's online chats. Check out:

Unfortunately these endorsements are unpaid, but you can take them for what they are worth.
They definitely help get me through the week. Enjoy!
