World Cup bound

To anyone who stops by here to read my ramblings - and apparently there at least a few of you out there - I offer a hearty thank you.

For the next seventeen days or so, however, don't expect to hear anything from me, because I'm headed to Germany for the world's party, the World Cup.

If anyone will be there, you may run into a ragtag little faction of Sam's Army known as the Minnesota Volunteers. Though I'm not from Minnesota, they've graciously taken me into their band of brothers (and one sister) for this adventure.

I'll be returning just in time for "Superman," but will have to catch up later on "Cars" and "Prairie Home Companion." I hope some of you will come again when I return!

Peace out.
