R&R

I scrolled down this main page of this blog and thought: What am I doing here? Auditioning for a columnist's slot with Page 2 at ESPN.com?

(Ah geez, Team USA - blowing a lead in the third period and losing to a team whose roster reads like a namecheck of my relatives standing in line for mojakka at the Finn Picnic in Perth, North Dakota, on a Sunday afternoon in July?)

I'll be out until September 20th. In the meantime, check out New Patriot, a recently-launched blog that proclaims itself "a group of proudly leftist Minnesota bloggers not content to sit on the sidelines."
