Your humble author now explains the break in posting after 54 consecutive days of commentary.
Got an airfare/lodging deal for four evenings on the isle of Grand Cayman at a hotel where you can walk out of the lobby onto a nice stretch of the 7 Mile Beach. Lots of laying on the beach reading (knocked out Moneyball, 1/3 of Quicksilver), sampling Pina Coladas, nighttime surf strolling, and visiting Stingray City. Carribean islands in the low season are nice because the locals aren't so harried and have plenty of time to chat. Also, the Cayman Islands are still crawling out from under Hurricane Ivan so they're really happy to see your dollar. Highly recommended!!
