Taking a break

by Dave

I'm leaving early tomorrow morning for a weeklong, long-planned family trip to the Yucatan, where we'll be mostly touring the archeological sites. I briefly contemplated taking my laptop along, but then realized that most of the trip will be in places where Internet connectivity is unlikely at best and at the least a complication I won't need.

I will be doing some reporting while I'm down there -- mostly trying to get a sense for the Mayan reaction to Mel Gibson's film about them, Apocalypto. But I won't be able to file anything until I return.

In the meantime, I'll leave you in Sara's more than capable hands. I think she has some special posts in store for the coming week.
