Pause for a cause

Sorry, I know it's been a couple days since I last posted. My bad.

But I've needed a mental-health break: I've been catching up on some reading, settling into my couch to watch some long-ago DVR'd programs, and straightening up the crib in anticipation of a holiday visit from my soon-to-be mother-in-law.

Also, I needed some time to digest how I really felt about the Rick Warren controversy, Caroline Kennedy, what I expect to be a mildly disappointing finish to the college football season and a few other things.

Just gimme a few. I've got some posts in the works.
