Several years ago, when the blogosphere was young and I was the proprietor of a site called PoliticalProfessional.com, Mrs. O'Toole File developed some fairly serious health problems. Unsurprisingly, blogging quickly became the least of my concerns, and Political Professional was put on indefinite hiatus.

Anyway, to make a long story post length, one blogger I knew a little bit in those days made a point of dropping me a line from time to time during all that, offering encouragement, asking after Mrs. O'Toole File, etc. And while I would never dream of embarrassing that person by telling you who it was, I would like to take a moment this morning to wish Mrs. Instapundit all the best and a speedy recovery (an InstaRecovery?).

Mrs. O'TF and I are thinking of you both. . . .

POSTSCRIPT: Forgive the personal post. I know it's not really what you stop by here for. But at least now I probably won't get any more pissygrams ("How can you say you like InstaHack, you MORON????") when I try to leaven my occasional criticisms of Glenn's political commentary with a kind personal word or two.
