I’d hoped to get more blogging in today but you know what they say about the best-laid plans.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’m out of here in the morning for a weekend retreat with my girlfriend and her family. I will not have internet access, so if you must find out my opinion on something, track me down in a cabin at Beavers Bend State Park<\/a> in Middle-of-Freakin’-Nowhere, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, I’ll be doing some light hiking, keeping an eye out for bald eagles and probably a large amount of napping and reading. For reading materials, I’m taking Victor Davis Hanson’s Carnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise of Western Power<\/em><\/a> and Robert Heinlein’s The Moon is a Harsh Mistress<\/em><\/a> (the latter with a small sense of obligation to Eric at Eric’s Random Musings<\/a> and John at TexasBestGrok<\/a>). <\/p>\n Hopefully, I’ll also give a little thought to some ideas for this blog in hopes of making it a more enlightening, or at least entertaining, experience for both you and me. Blogging will resume probably Sunday or Monday, depending on the Super Bowl and my work pager (Alas! I go oncall on Monday). ‘Til then …<\/p>\n Out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’d hoped to get more blogging in today but you know what they say about the best-laid plans.
