 PLAY THIS SONG 

 AND SCROLL DOWN: 

That's right, dear friend. I'm on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N.

Mrs. Shady and I are relaxing at a remote oasis called
Global Warming, Antarctica, close to the South Pole.
The video above shows you the view from our little
grass shack. The water is a delightful 83 degrees!

Tempted as I am to stay here forever and ever, I hope to

return to blogging one week from today. See you then!
