Brief Blogging Break

I'll be away from the keyboard until Sunday in order to take care of a little family business. Regular readers know that my mother-in-law passed away a couple of weeks ago, and my wife is up at her parent's home helping clean out all the stuff that's no longer needed (her mom was a teacher who never threw away anything, so it's a big job). I'm going to jump on the train in a few minutes and head up to Ventura to help her out today and tomorrow.

I've already requested that there be no major breaking news or political events until Sunday so we won't miss anything. See you then, and have a terrific Easter weekend!
