Technical Issues and Blogging in a Swimsuit

The recent gap in my blogging was due to tech issues.

I couldn't get the wireless internet to function on my laptop, so I was hostage to a pay-to-use computer in the hotel's business office (69 cents per minute).

Which worked fine the first time I used it. That was then. On Monday it choked on my credit card, and yesterday I was so fatigued by the end of TX/OH/VT/RI primary day that I couldn't summon the energy to do battle with it again.

But today all is fine. When I told Mrs. MI I was going to blog, she asked me if I was going to go in my swimsuit (dark blue with vague aqua amphibian/piscean shapes). I told her I most assuredly was. You guys don't care, do you? I never ask you what you're wearing when you read this blog.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Undisclosed Location Blogging

I'm channeling Richard B. Cheney.

No, I'm not exacerbating my pump head by having further secret bypass surgery or shooting casual acquaintances in the face with shotguns. And I'm not dropping f-bombs on the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee or subverting Congressional oversight at every opportunity.

I'm hangin' at an undisclosed location. And blogging whilst on vacation.

The idea of blogging runs counter to the principles of vacation. Instead of blogging, you should be relaxing. Taking your mind off work. Taking your mind off your responsibilities. Perhaps enjoying a frosty umbrella beverage or three poolside. But no...blog I must.

I owe it to you, Dear Reader, to forge ahead, to leave no cliche unuttered. Fear not. I will continue to post throughout the week. If I seem distracted, though, or not up to my usual blogging excellence, at least I have an excuse: too many umbrella drinks.
