I will be away from the blog until next week sometime. We got a call this afternoon that my wife's father passed away. We are leaving early in the morning for Wisconsin. I'll get back to the blog after I return. Thanks for your understanding.

What is a good next step? My ...
The horror yesterday at Virginia Tech struck a little too close to home for me. My brother is very much younger than I am (by, oh, 20 years) and is in college right now. Even though I was raised in New York, my folks moved to western Virginia when he was a toddler so ...
