I have been away on vaca­tion with the fam. At the Museum of Nat­ural His­tory, I ran into a cat­fish skele­ton, so I had my lovely bride Heather take a pic­ture, in lieu of break­ing the glass case and com­mit­ting a crime. I'd take a vaca­tion in the South for sure if some­one would take me noodling. I even had take­out cat­fish nuggets for din­ner one night. They were all right.

Sto­ries and more edi­fi­ca­tional posts com­ing this week. Here's a travel tip for you: don't drive to DC from Boston. Just don't.
