See you later

I need to burn some vacation time, so I'll be out of the office until after Christmas.

Unless the boss says I'm absolutely needed, in which case I'll get called back in. But that's happened only once in the past 20 years, so it's not likely.

I'll still be moderating comments from home and deleting spam. It's really picked up in the past few months. About half of it is porn and other material I don't want to read. The rest consists of links to Web sites I wouldn't want to see, either.

And I might get worked up enough about something to post anyway.

In any case, have a good week, y'all.

P.S. My daughter and I were watching a TV Land show about stupid celebrity quotes. There was one about Britney Spears saying the nice thing about being a celebrity is you get to go overseas to countries like Canada. Britney might get me blogging again this week if she does something outrageous. (No; never).

One other thing before I go: I don't like the idea of Iran having nukes. It scares me. But if you look at it from their perspective, several nations in their part of the world have nukes, and they can make the argument that they need them, too, for self-defense. I'm talking India, Pakistan, Russia and Israel. Yeah, like that warmongering nation of India is going to attack the great Satan (or little Satan) Iran anytime soon.
