I go on vacation for two weeks and the place goes dark, even though I asked my two fellow contributors, whose contributions I look forward to eagerly, to please please post while I was unable to (I’m sorry, but when I’m paying large sums of money to enjoy Europe, I’m not going to be spending my time at an internet cafe writing about it). Tom Maguire goes on vacation, and he cleverly has a new post every day via Typepad delayed postings that are just open threads, and a week later he has 305 comments on a single post, and they aren’t of the “Bush Sucks” caliber either. Yikes, thats more than half of the total comments for this blog. Still, I’m hoping that I had a better vacation — I rate mine as wonderful.
