Sunny (I hope) Skies

Blogging for the next few days will be somewhat irregular as the Divine Mrs. M and myself hie off to sunny Mexico for a well deserved week of warm forgetfulness.  The only fly in the ointment is the weather between here and Playa Del Carmen.  The thought of spending even a small fraction of the next week staring at airline bulletin boards and hoping no cancellations will impact us is the dark lining to our silver sky.  I will pay some attention to current events, but for the most part am looking forward to lazy days by the pool and long walks on the beach.  My carbon footprint for the next week or so will be regrettably large.
