That’s it from Smalltown, U.S.A. The next time you hear from me, I’ll be back at my desk on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Don’t be surprised if I fail to post again until Wednesday, when Our Girl in Chicago joins me in New York for a week of mad hilarity (I can’t wait to see her start hitting the bars with Maud in tow). Oh, the humanity!

In the meantime, many thanks for all the e-mail you’ve sent in recent days. It’s nice to know you’re out there.

Later.
