I’m leaving for a well-earned vacation this week to sunny Florida (that is, if our flight gets out of here before the snowstorm!) and will be returning late next week. While I’m taking my laptop, I vowed to my husband and son that I’ll keep my computer time to the bare minimum so that we can really focus on having fun together. I think Linda’s going to be away too, which means for the next 10 days or so, it’ll probably be quiet here. I’m going to try to finish up answering the questions I have in my e-mail, then stagger them to post while we’re gone. Comments may take a day or two to appear, as we moderate everything to prevent spam from getting through. [db]
