I'm going back to visit family in St. Louis, Columbia, MO and southeast Michigan. My flight leaves early tomorrow morning, returns next Friday evening, and over the next week I'll be posting sporadically, if at all. I assume that the world will struggle on without my timeless insights, as it did up until a couple months ago, when I started doing this. But I'll have a laptop with me, so if I find some time, I'll check in occasionally.

But if not, happy holidays to all.

Say it ain't so, Rand! As far as I am concerned, the world stops spinning when you ain't puttin' your spin on it!

Looks like yer loyal fans is havin' cold turkey for Chistmas... sniff.
