I’LL BE OFF ON TRAVEL for the next week, and it’s my intention to be offline the whole time. I think I’m ready for a vacation from the blogosphere, and the news, so I can be back rested and ready for my fifth bloggiversary, which comes August 8.

But things will be hopping here, with my usual guestbloggers — Ann Althouse, Megan McArdle, and Michael Totten — plus a new one, law professor Brannon Denning.

Heck, things will probably be so interesting that you won’t want me to come back! But I will anyway. Sorry. . . .
