On the future of Left Side of the Aisle

NOTE WELL: Left Side of the Aisle is taking an extended break of one month.

It will be back with episode 262, for the week of October 27 - November 2.

We are making a few changes, getting some new graphics (after five years I figure I deserve a change), adding a new feature - and coming back with a new name.

When it comes back, Left Side of the Aisle will be known by its new name of "What's Left."
