Incommunicado

Just so's you know...I will be off the blog for the next couple of days. I'll fill you in on the skinny when I return to the keyboard on Monday. Not to worry — it's a fun thing.

I'll leave you with this thought to mull over the weekend:

No matter how old and tired and decrepit I get, as long as we both live I'll still be three months younger than Heather Locklear.

(Did you know that the perennially fetching Ms. Locklear has a touch of African and Native American ancestry? So say the folks at the PBS documentary series Frontline. You go, sister!)
