The blog, it is on vacation in Mijami. It has run away with the gnome from Travelocity. We shall be back in our porch rockers to resume whittling on Thursday morning.

Hasta luego.

*By technical difficulties, we mean our luxury Miami Beach hotel promised us something that it should not have promised, mostly because it did not exist: high-speed internet access in the rooms. Of course, they have wireless; now if only the special issue NYPT laptop liked to freestyle. It doesn’t. It’s very old-school. One of a kind, really. We will be having a ceremonial casting-of-laptop-in-to-the-sea ceremony at dawn.

Anyway, must to go now. We are cross, and one is not permitted be cross in Mijami. Besides, the gnome just came over and said it wants to be taken for a ride in the car-car. (Let us just say that what the gnome wants, the gnome gets.)
