I’m planning on checking out for a month on Friday and leaving this blog in the care of my brother Gideon and my boss, Frank Farricker. The results should be hilarious. I’m hopeful that they’ll mostly write about real estate but if they get into politics well, they’ll disagree.

If this is what Frank worries about he should get a life. I’m worried about what the pols do in office.
Dude –
You are bagging us for a month? What is up with that? You going to India to contemplate your navel? Montana to shoot every living creature? Mayo Clinic for a head transplant? I hope it is pleasure and not something serious. Let me know if I can be of any help.
Anyhows, why did you put a picture of Chevy Chase up next to this post? Is he going to be a guest blogger? Wouldn’t be my first pick. And Gideon and Frankie??? Come ON!! They have the personality of sheet rock, for Pete’s Sake. It will be like watching paint dry.
You want me to go host? I won’t do ant dirt stuff. I will leave that to the two “professionals”. I will do some general interest stuff, some light politics, and a little soft core porn.
What do you say? Give me your password. NO WAIT!! Let me guess!! 1234? Mrstud? Douchebagsayswhat? Grnwchgy? I must be close!!
Your Pal,
Walt
You’ll be missed, enjoy your sabbatical.
None of my business, but have you considered putting up a Closed For A Month sign on the blog? I, for one, would prefer that option than seeing what Frank and Gideon have to say. No offense to either of them; I know Gideon did a great job last time you were gone for a while, but this is YOUR baby and we are here for YOUR oddball stream of consciousness posts. Just saying, it wouldn’t be any shame to let it idle until you come back. We all want you well. We want you to be gone as long as you need be. A month. Two months. Whatever. Heal. Regroup. Refresh. I cast my Republican vote the blog stay untouched until your voice is strong enough to return. God speed.
Your brother is very polite, helpful, insightful and the most appropriate for the ones who purchase a home in Greenwich, a bit boring on the writing though. Have fun.
Gorgeous Gideon versus Fuddrucker the Fierce in a no-holds-barred WordPress Blogging Cage Match! Let’s Get Ready To Ruuuuuummmmble!
Enjoy your time off, CF.
You will be missed but a bit of Real Estate info will be good as it has been seriously lacking recently.
The Duke votes for Walt as co(tri?)-host.
Anybody else?
Great. A month of Gideon and his fondness for CAPS. I CAN’T WAIT.
Can we have a bit more info on your absence? Where, why, etc? We will miss you so. What if we don’t like them? Can we be mean?
OT:
The house arrived today on the lot. Looks nice.
Great. Gideon doesn’t believe my name is really Richard and Frank is a Democrat. Good times, good times.
We’ll miss you Chris. Enjoy whatever you’re off to do.
Personal stuff, Jane, but God yes, be mean!
You ain’t comin’ back as Christine, are ya? : )
Dude –
So you are going camping, I hope? I will join you if you want, as long as I can sleep in a five star hotel, they have 24 hour room service, and out call is available at all times.
If it isn’t camping…hmmm… for a month? Have you had men in white suits chasing you recently with butterfly nets? I know what that is like!! If that is it, when you get there, just stay in your bathrobe, watch Jerry Springer, and eat your peaches. If you don’t, the stun guns can hurt like a bitch!!
Writing school? That would be a good use of your time, but I would think nowadays you could do that on line.
You eloping with Ms. McBeal, you dog? I noticed she has been lurking around here again recently. You taking her to Vegas for a wedding, and then off to Tijuana for a romantic honeymoon and donkey show?
Trying out for American Idol or Dancing with the Stars? The time frame fits. I don’t think you have any talent, but maybe you can dance?
Anthows, whatever it is, I hope you have some fun. Do you have professional liability insurance in case Gideon and Frankie make someone puke up a lung?
Your Pal,
Walt
Ok, now I’m sorry I asked. I am going to stick it to those two if they start to annoy me. Best to you in your time off!
Not in my immediate plans,Pulled Up!
Advice: Ditch your Debbie Downer friends and outlook.
You have nearly 7,000,000 readers waiting for the next idea to pop into your head.
Your loyal readers need you. Your family needs you.
A day without FWIW is, well, a day less well lived. That would be a horrible blog name: ADLWL. See? We all need you.
OK; I’m going to spill the beans. Christopher and I are going on a world-wide adventure. Hiking in the Alps, touring the bird parks in Singapore, some bridge in Iceland and a safari in Kenya. Then, a passionate affair in downtown Minnetonka.
Yeah – well; here’s the real story. I’m helping my aging folks in Florida at present, then rushing home to do an open house on Sunday. Dunno where Chris is going to be. But – wherever it is, I wish him all the best.
And – I’ll miss him like hell, but – life is like that sometimes.
What assurances do we have that Frank won’t sell our personal information to the Democratic National Committee? Or that Gideon won’t sign us up for Cleveland-Duble email alerts for life?
OK, nobody wants Walt to co-host; our loss. The Duke hereby suggests that Walt start his own blog.
Take your mental health month CF – and wherever you go, whatever you do may the wind rise up to meet you, ah, you know what the Duke means.
Ugh. You can really make me nuts, but you’re one of my favorite guilty pleasures! I check the blog at least 4 times a day! I guess I like you more than I thought. Hope all is well and look forward to your return.
WELL-DESERVED R & R
When I was 8, my parents went to Europe for a month and the five of us kids cried like babies when they left. I gotta tell you, this is much, much worse.
Anyhows (as Walt would say), take care of yourself. You deserve a rest and a life away from us kids!
On a totally different topic; the paranoid narcissist often identified on this blog as Obummer comes this really weird URL:http://my.barackobama.com/page/signup/o2012-attackwatch-report-an-attack.
Is this stalinist nitwit beyond redemption or what?
I vote with Duke, Walt for co-blogging host!
Be well, Christopher.
CF, I will be a lost puppy until you return. Staring at your blog-bowl waiting for a pissy rant to hit.
We already know FF’s view of the world, just read krugman and regergitate…so no thanks. Plus, as a lottery commissioner, his already cock-eyed view of economic is bound to further deteriorate (no frank, ct cant use tax revenue to purchase tickets in the multi-state lottery in hopes of winning big to plug budget holes) and we don’t need to read his submininal messages to buy scratch off tickets. The best option might be the ‘closed until I return’ sign.
You’ll be missed old sage of the 06878 tidal ditch. I’ve just shed a tear.
Come back stronger and meaner than ever!
You will be missed. I may sink into a depression . . . . are they called “interim bloggers”?
Hey Frank – I hear they are casting for “Revenge of the Nerds; part 3″ – you are a shoe in! Pays better than this blog, at least!
Have a good time doing whatever, wherever with whoever. I think Walt can keep the boys in line…..
I’m leaving very strong instructions that Walt is not be censored in any way!
Your devoted fan base has spoken. Go. Don’t worry about us. Frank and Gideon will be the ones who need a month off after we get done with them!!
XO
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it’s not too late
A worthy concern has been raised. There is no doubt FF will use this opportunity to gather up personal information on your readers and turn it to moveon.org.
Best of luck Chris
CC, I know that you’re being funny, but for other readers, be assured that Frank is not only my close, personal friend who would never abuse that trust, he’s a smart guy. He will, as I do, honor the privacy of this blog, just as Gideon won’t be sending email ads from his firm. It’s just NOT going to happen.
Be well Chris. Look forward to your return.
May the wind always be at your back.
No interest in reading anything FF has to say. See you in a few months. Sorry, I’d rather read the GT and that’s saying something.
Love it when Gideon is in charge! Have a good break!
WTF! A whole month! Gideon is ok, but Fudrucker….c’mon.
By the way, Fudrucker is being so lame about the clambake that I feel embarrassed for him. If that is the best he can do then I portend bad things for this blog while you are out having your penile implant surgery.
While our political positions are diametrically opposite, I’ve chatted with FF a couple of times and he seems to be a bright, albeit misdirected, guy.
Frank is a trooper, and his real estate knowledge is awesome. If readers will hang on, I think he and Gideon will do a hell of a job.
Ok, we’ll listen to Captain Scratchy FF and Mr Upright Gwich Realtor (Belle Haven, a nice place to live).
I’m ready to buy lotto tickets and my posture is in good form!
I’m going to miss you! I look forward to your return!
Could you and Gideon at least give FF an atomic wedgie over his lily livered complaints about the clambake? It’d be legitimate medical intervention since obviously his panties are in a knot and you’re just trying to undo it!
I’ve been reading this blog long enough to know CF is a very decent human being and if he thinks it’s a wise choice to leave FWIW in the handy of his brother and his boss, it’s okay with me. It helps to know Walt won’t be censored,
Is a month 30 days, four weeks or some vague measure of time? Got a date you expect to be back?
Stay safe. You’ll be missed.
Hummm . . . you mean this might actually turn into a real estate blog about real estate? Imagine that!
(But real estate is NOT the reason I come here, for the most part, so that doesn’t matter to me. Hearing that Walt will not be censored, I’ll keep coming. [Walt, It's all up to you to keep things going . . . are you up to it?])
Hope there will be some fun in the hiatus!
Count me among those who will miss your comments, especially the ones I agree with. Enjoy your vacation, but please don’t extend it. We expect good (juicy) stories when you return.
Is it true that Frankie Fuddrucker was Adam Sandler’s double in the movie “Little Nicky.”
I hope you are beginning to realize how many people’s day you actually MAKE.
You would never be able to guess how varied we all are. Have a splendid break and hurry back.m
Dude,
I’m a Dem turning republican.
You are not nice for doing this!
Agree with Anon, et al. But, has this forum closed? I read an article in The Greenwich Times that Chris would have been all over. Time to Giddi-up Giddeon! All the best, Chris!
Good luck with where ever you’re going.
It will be a very long dark month.
