Weekend Plans.

That's one of the nice things about not being on retainer, or running for leadership office: you get your weekends free.

While others are called in to clean up after BP's growing messes... while the politicos and pundits are inside trying to figure in weeks to come how to spin this worsening economic data and environmental nightmare that seemingly won't end... my conscience is clean, my cares are few. Not my job, thankfully.

Fishing, planting, paddling. The body grows stronger, the books get read... Pen to paper, the work gets written.

Make it a great weekend, whatever you're working on, and we'll see you back here next week. Rested, and ready.
