Perhaps just opening up a page with a theme, and/or a couple quotes (as you sometimes do)
or this
geezer in Paris:
We could solicit suggestions for a theme idea for that day, or next day, even, so you wouldn't get stuck with the brain in "theme park" every day-
what do you mean by "theme park"? I just collect information available at the internet - and sometime themes just develop. However, I just don't have the time currently to do that in the morning. For me the problem is the time, especially in the morning and I just don't see my self getting up even earlier.
"Theme Park" was a humorous (or not) way to point that out- unfair for you to have to Park the brain in theme mode every day-- when others might be willing to help.
We play with words a lot in the Miller household-"Pilsnerd" was my 10-year-old daughter's idea for my imaginary bilge-brewed beer, for example. May be some insight there? Aimed at me, Helen.
Right now, the "Klatch" part typically draws less news-oriented comments, and more personal stuff. I sort of like that. Again(again)((again)), this was never intended to be a criticism of HOW or WHAT, but just WHEN--and with some ideas to offer.
In my original; comment, in two places, I think, I pointed out that I was not attacking, and that I was (am) well aware and appreciative of your work.
As for a daily diary,-- That's why we have a front page,(and front pagers) -is it not? I have neither the time nor the interest (or the dedication) to do Fan's job. Not all differing ideas need to be taken as personal criticisms. Not intended--just suggestions. Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.
