Yeah, I took a weekend off; so sue me

Sorry that I haven't posted the last couple of days...

... actually, I'm not sorry. I actually did what most of America does -- take the weekend off, without working several hours each day. It was OK, although I didn't get nearly as much snoozetime as I had hoped, what with all the personal life stuff that needed doing -- church stuff, family, you know. A little bit of manual labor Saturday morning, which was traumatic since I haven't had time for any exercise in months. Had a nice time babysitting the twins Saturday night. Cooked out Sunday night. Watched a really mediocre movie.

I'll go back and post my Sunday column retroactively (to avoid confusion a year from now as to when it was published in the paper). Other than that, I'll catch up as I'm able. On top of a week that would be pretty jammed up anyway, we've got no fewer than five city council candidates coming in over the next two days. I'll do my best to post about them as they come through, but I foresee running into that classic blogging conundrum -- you can either have experiences worth blogging about (interviews, getting out to news events, reading a wide variety of sources, etc.) or you can blog. It's tough doing both in a 24-hour day. Or a seven-day week, if you take a day or two off.

Which I did. That's where we started...
