# Sonja Isger's Morning Brew Blog at the Palm Beach Post has been online for what seems like only a cyber blip, but it looks like its time has already come and gone:

"CLICK: Or forever hold your peace. We’re looking at one more week before the brew closes up shop. I’ll still be writing in the mornings, just no blog. So I plan to get in two good Fridays and some fun in between."

Whaat??? Mystery surrounds the fleeting existence of this blog stop on the cyber highway. Did she originally volunteer to try this and then get disenchanted? Or was she assigned/ordered to do it and then it got cancelled by the Suits at the paper?

Personally, I could never do an Early Bird blog; I don't feel fully awake until the PM. I've dropped in there a few times, though maybe not so early, and I thought it was just starting to get interesting when: Pouf!

We're sorry to see it fade in our
rearview mirror. Brew, we hardly knew ya.
