Here I am again.

I want to reassure my loyal readers that, in spite of the very real possibility in the near future, my blog was NOT shut down by the incoming Obama Administration as a part of the unFairness Doctrine. 

No, in fact, I have been out of town for the past four days.  Skiing in the Colorado Rockies, to be exact.  I had a wonderful time, but no internet access, and no time to blog.  I have paid attention to the news events of the past week, and will, as soon as I unpack and have a few minutes to gather myself, continue my countdown to the end of the Obama Tyranny ... I mean, Presidency.
