see ya very soon

Hi everyone.

True, I won’t actually be traveling on Air Force One, and no, I won’t be heading for Korea, but apart from that me and the President have a lot in common over the next few days: we’ll be away for a bit. Admittedly, my business is just a little less important. :???:

I’ll be in the air and on the road until Monday evening. I’ll do my very, very, very best to check in on the blog before then, especially to free the good folk stuck in pending thanks to those delightful recent changes made by WordPress, and to start new ‘chat away’ posts.

Completely normal service will be resumed on Monday evening, until then, look after yourselves - and I hope to catch up over the weekend.

Love, Chips.

“if i had a son, he would look like trayvon”

Ta-Nehisi Coates: Stunning. Pitch perfect. No idea how it’ll play. Don’t care right now. Maybe I’ll care later. But for now, I just felt it was a stunning exercise in political minimalism. That’s a compliment.
