THANKS.

I'm 30 percent tanner, and 80 percent less tired. I spent seven days without my computer for the first time since 2003. Vacation, in other words, was great. And so were my guestbloggers. I fear that last week was far, far above this blog's traditional quality level -- to say nothing of its enhanced expertise. Luckily, all those bloggers have other lives in which they produce even more written material. You should, of course, already be reading Cogitamus, The Bellows, Minipundit, Higher Ed Watch, and Pandagon. And subscribing to Government Executive (only three bazillion dollars!). And marking up your copies of Overtreated and Making Americans Healthier. If you're not, start now. And thanks to all of them. Sincerely.
