I'll return shortly

But if all goes as planned, much will be different in my life.

1. I'll have visited 6 of the last 7 states (MA, CT, RI, SC, GA, & FL) that I haven't been to, along with a number of others along the way.
2. I'll have started a new job.
3. I'll have moved to a new state (don't worry, I'll be 12 miles from WI and will still follow WI politics...I'll just be paying a little more attention to happenings in my birthplace of MN...).

Thanks for enduring the blog drought while I'm on vacation. (Not that you're thirsty for Wide White posts...)
