Got back late Thursday night from a family vacation at Disney World, and I've been digging out ever since. There's much to blog about, from the Mets-Yankees series to the Supreme Court's busy week, although I see that The Mad Hibernian has been manning the battlements here all week. Unfortunately, because I was traveling and for reasons I'll explain later, I didn't get to see much baseball this week.

If I was really ambitious, I could make an Al Haig declaration ("I'm in charge here!") while Glenn Reynolds is on vacation. As usual, though, I'll just be scrambling for enough time to catch up.
