And goodbye for now...

Okay then, that's it for me for a bit. My vacation starts now, Saturday am east coast time, November 22, and ends Monday December 1. So the blog will go dark during that time.

In the real world that's 10 days, but from my employer's perspective, it's only three days' vacation, because I get American holidays and next Thursday and Friday are those, since it's Thanksgiving in the US next week and no one works those days. Try it yourself, I recommend it. The only four-day weekend I know of in Christendom. Cheers.
