Off.

Dear Peoples,

I'm off to the lake to see the family and relax and read and all that good blah blah blah. I'm not sure what the whole Interweb situation is there, I might say Hi, I might not be able to. Either way, behave yourselves and have a nice week. (And, if possible, go see 2046 or Elevator to the Gallows. If they're not in your neck of the woods... read a good book [or the latest Armond White column] and patiently wait for them.) I know it'll be tough, but carry on without me.

Your pal,

Ben

Full disclosure: that is not actually a picture of the Lake that I'm going to. Artistic license and such.
