I’m off on vacation for nearly two weeks in northern Idaho and southeast British Columbia. The former has lots of clothing-optional lakes, rivers, and streams. Idaho? Not so much. And as usual for places I seem to vacation connectivity promises to be unpromising. I’ve left a few posts for publication later on just in case but I should be able to connect at least once a day. Possibly by dial-up only.

I may not have much opportunity to reply to comments but you’re comments are still very welcome. I’ll reply as soon as I can. You’re some of the best commenters in the blogsphere so you’re always welcome to respond spiritedly but respectfully to each other’s comments while I’m away.

While I’m out I’ll be reading Umberto Eco’s On Ugliness and History of Beauty, and Jessica Valenti’s He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut, and 49 Other Double Standards Every Woman Should Know, plus, as usual, anything else I can get my hands on.

See you sooner or see you later but one way or another I’ll look forward to seeing all of you.
