Back from vacation…
I’ve done “blog light” the past 2-1/2 weeks, away from my desk quite a bit in lieu of family time – visiting Andy and Daena in DC and camping (Starved Rock for Illinoisans) with the grandsons, Rich and my parents.
If you’ve been wondering where I was, that’s where. Tomorrow I’ll be back.
Thanks to Kelli, Carla, Susie, LauraLoo, Hans, Carder, and the other mods for holding down the fort. Missed ya’ll!

I appreciate the team and the audience very much. LL <3
I just figgered that there weren’t any good political cartoons for the last few weeks!
Figgered is funny. LL :D
Welcome back!
Ah yes, the Land of Lincoln is a must experience.
Thanks for coming back though…
YAY!!!
Bring it Jill!!
Those that gave me “likes” please know that Jill and I are from Illinois so my comment was meant to exclaim that Illinois rocks!!! My kids were born at Christ Hospital Jill, and our pediatrician is there and I used to work there on the 5th floor years ago. Christ’s Hope Children’s Hospital is more than decent today!! To be fair, are they redeeming themselves?
Welcome back Jill!! Hope you had a restful vacation. God bless you.
