Farewell Until Monday & 2 Vital Notes

Thanks to the generosity of my husband's (and now my!) dear friend and mentor, we will be cruising in the Virgin Islands for the next several days -- with some liberal luminaries, no less! Winston, our Westie, has seen the suitcases packed, and seems a bit bitter -- but he'll have plenty of company here at home.

In the meantime, there are two important things to keep in mind over the next few days:

(1) Please visit Captain's Quarters and join Captain Ed's effort to make January 12 World Relief Day. The idea? For all of us to donate our take-home pay -- or whatever we can spare -- for January 12th to the tsunami relief effort at World Vision. Truly a worthy cause.

(2) Order Hugh Hewitt's newest book: Blog : Understanding the Information Reformation That's Changing Your World. It's essential for all bloggers, wanna-be bloggers, and don't-know-what-a-blog-is'ers.
