Vacation June 18-25

Vacation June 18-25 (Jerz's Literacy Weblog)
Sometime this weekend, I'll be taking the wife and kids to a cabin for a week in Amish country.

Actually, that phrasing is misleading. It's more accurate to say I'll accompany my family to a cabin that my in-laws booked.

At any rate, I'll be offline the whole time... and that will be the first time I've been offline since... well, since I went online.

If I can't quickly figure out a way to hold comments for later approval, I'll have to disable the script for adding new comments until I return. I might blog a bit more today or tomorrow, but the weekend spam attacks are about to start, so I thought I might as well take care of blocking comments now.
