The Week That Was

My God, what a week!

Bombs at the Boston Marathon. Ricin and an Elvis impersonator. Massive explosion in West, Texas. North Korea still making noise. Arrests in the Texas DA killings. Gun control bill halted - for now. obama throws a temper tantrum. Max Baucus, co-author of the obamacare abomination, says he sees a "huge train wreck" looming as the bill is implemented. More storms and snow for much of the country.

That's enough to keep us talking for a month, all crammed into one short week.

It's so overwhelming that I'm taking off for a boy's weekend out. A reunion of sorts, including a heaping helping of fun and games (four rounds of golf in three days), will distract me from the woes of this weary world - with perhaps the assistance of a few adult beverages.

And the weather forecast is gorgeous - clear and sunny, highs in the 70s.

Virtue is rewarded...
