Expect a Lag in Postings

Here it is, dear B&E readers, that requisite and predictable post explaining what could and probably will be a lapse in writing. Upon my return to regular programming, you will almost certainly be inundated with a B&E version of a slide show entitled, "My Summer Vacation."

Just as a final pre-vacation observation... As I finish packing this morning, the missus and I have the PBS Bill Moyers' series "Faith & Reason" on the tube. Today it features a Buddhist nun and Bill Moyers in a blue sweater. Channel 13 is doing its pledge drive, and between segments with the Buddhist nun, they cut to a give-to-PBS interview with Bill Moyers, who was wearing the very same blue sweater.

Bill's about substance, not wardrobe.
