Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

I leave today for the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Phoenix.  Thus I probably won't be posting again until next week.  When I return, though, we'll be a week out from the Iowa Caucuses and we will have reached the deadline for parties to submit amicus briefs to the Mass. SJC on the matter of the Senate civil union bill.  I am sure I will have much to say.  Have a great week everybody!
