Intermittent at best

I will probably be away from this for a while. Can you stand it? I'm going to Washington -- Babylon-on-the-Potomac -- tomorrow night for a weekend Institute for Humane Studies seminar/discussion on free trade and globalization. I'm not sure just what kind of computer access I'll have back there, though I'm equipped with the access codes if I get access. I should come back loaded for bear on those topics -- with any luck having learned some things I didn't know before. After that we're headed to Buffalo for a wedding of -- I think it's Jen's neice, but maybe second cousin? I'll be home Tuesday and Wednesday, and maybe will be able to blog from Buffalo, but I can't promise just yet.
