Gone Until the Ides of March

It is rare that I write here without addressing social issues.  I have a personal announcement to make.

I will not be active on this blog until the middle of March (oh dear, the Ides of March).  I will be flying to New York to spend quality time with my brother, and will be there until Feb 26th until March 2nd.  On March 2nd I’m flying to Israel (thank you, Birthright) and will be there until March 13th.  I’ll spend a couple days in New York and return on March 15th.

Thank you all for reading and commenting and challenging what I write.
