I'm Off This Week

But, never fear, each day you'll receive an award winning blog post from the "Best Of" series. Ten links every day for five days. I think I'll have Internet access where I'm going, but if you think I'm waking up at the crack of dawn to fire off some Random Thoughts, you be crazy.

America! Yeah!
