First things first: Paddy and I wish each and every one of you a safe, warm, happy holiday filled with love and yummies.

As for this week: Both of us are under the weather, so posting has been a little slower than usual the past few days.

As for me, I am going on yet another Big Road Trip (scroll… and yes, let’s hope it’s not a repeat of the one I had two years ago… and yes, our house is in good hands) to San Francisco with my family, so we all better get over our miserable colds quickly (all of us caught this sucker). Especially because I’m meeting up with some wonderful new, and long time, Twitter friends in SF, which makes me so happy!

I’ll try to post when I can, but I doubt it will be more than once or twice, because it’s not easy when I’m out and about. (My little notebook is a pain, plus I’m never sitting in one place long enough to write anything.)

Hence, I’ve invited a few people to sub for me, including David Garber, Andy Marquis, and Chris Lamb. Hopefully, they’ll be able to contribute while I’m gone.

So we will likely continue our lighter posting this week, given the time of year and both Paddy and me trying to recupe from our various sickitude.

Again, have a safe, warm, happy holiday week. Be good to Paddy and we’ll be back to our regular posting schedule after the first of the year.
