Taking a Breather

Secondhand Smoke is pooped. It’s been a very busy winter and spring and after yesterday’s informational hearing, I am completely out of gas. So, Secondhand Smokette and I are heading to Europe for three weeks. Chances are, I won’t blog, but I will be checking the site and may post something if a major story comes along.

The day after I return, it is off to Albany for a confab on bioethics and politics. If you are in the neighborhood drop by. There could be…respectful…fireworks.

Don’t forget to keep tuning in. I really appreciate your readership and contributions. I look forward to renewing our conversation when I return.
