Due to the fact that I am swamped by closing up one program, starting up another, and traveling to good ol’ Portland for a few days, I’m going to take a vacation from the blog for the rest of the week. When I get  back, I promise to have great stories to tell that will probably include giant foamcore glasses and de-nosing a mass of Groucho glasses. I will also deliver on last week’s failed promise to give you some more etymology from 19th century fashion.

Happy Solstice!
