au revoir

by J J Cohen

The Cohen family departs for Florida on Saturday morning for one of our summer vacations (the second, in August, is to Maine). So, my friends, no more blog posts from me for quite some time. I'm intentionally not taking my laptop. I will be nearly off the grid for more than a week. One word to describe that: Yahoo.

[illustration: from a 2003 family trip to Disney World. In my infinite cruelty I convinced Alexander that from time to time a kid is able to dislodge Excalibur from its anvil, and that the good people at Disney reward that child with prizes. To this day he continues to disbelieve everything I tell him.]
