Off for the Weekend: Open Thread

Secondhand Smokette and I are driving to LA for the weekend to visit Secondhand Mom. Chances are there will be no posts until Sunday. In the meanwhile, if there are relevant issues that anyone would like to address here, please feel free to open a thread and discuss amongst yourselves. I might chime in on those matters, too. Thanks all for visiting and contributing to the conversation here at Secondhand Smoke.
