After reading the kerfuffle yesterday, I went to feedly and told it to
connect to my google reader account and spent about 10 minutes finding
the buttons to make it look more like google reader.  I have now closed the
google reader tab and I'm reading all my feeds from feedly.  

I don't know whether I'll have to do something new and different when
google reader actually shuts down, but for now it isn't a problem.  They
claim they will have it covered.

A pro basketball player named Micheal (yes, that's the way he spells
it) Ray Richardson once famously said of the New York Knicks
franchise: "The ship be sinking."

When a reporter asked him how far it could sink, Richardson reportedly
replied: "Sky's the limit."
