Dave Barry to Take Indefinite Leave

As mentioned on his blog, and on Miami Herald’s site, Dave Barry is going to take a leave of absence from the Miami Herald and the columns he’s been writing for 20+ years (he still plans on keep his blog updated on a random basis). He plans to spend more time with his family, and will continue writing his children’s books and a movie he’s working on. ”Part of the reason for taking a year off is to find out if I just can’t stand not being able to write,” he said.
