Thanks to a reader who would rather remain anonymous, I am going to go to Texas tomorrow and will return to all of you on Tuesday. I have scheduled a few things to publish on this blog while I am gone so you don't feel abandoned, and I will be peeking in at night and perhaps publishing a few things for you to read or a few pictures for you to look at during those times.
I return from Texas on Sunday night, and will be writing a little bit for you on Monday, but since The Bird is arriving at JFK on Monday afternoon, I will be occupied most of that day, as well. But I will be back as usual on Tuesday.
