I'm in vacation mode, with posting, if at all, on a leisurely South Florida late-morning schedule. (First a long walk on the beach, then to Starbucks for the ridiculously expensive and unwieldy T-Moblie connection.)

But I'm glad I connected today if only to see the Herald front page and the ensuing hub-bub in the blogs. Great entertainment. I'm sorry I missed a day, but I'll be sure to tune in tomorrow for another episode in the continuing saga of the Scalia salute.
