Tanned and rested. Ready? Not so much...

Both this blog and thekansascitypost.com went silent last week. That's because I was on vacation on beautiful little Captiva Island off the gulf coast of Florida. No sight-seeing. No bicycle rides through the nature preserve. Just a lot of laying around. Laying around the pool. Laying around the beach. Laying around the hotel room. As Peter said in the movie Office Space, "I did nothing, and it was everything I dreamed it would be."
