Time on for some time off

I know this pronouncement will cause a number of people to breathe a huge sigh of relief, but I’m taking the bold step of embarking on a brief vacation. By this time tomorrow evening, I hope to be relaxing on the balcony of My Hero’s beach house in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla. Thus, this blog will go into silent mode for a while, but I expect to be back in all my glory in plenty of time for the city council’s first public hearing on the proposed budget, scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 15.
