Lomblog Super-Summer Resumes

LF back again - didja miss me? Of course you did. In case you were wondering, I've just spent a few relaxing days apartment-sitting for Miss Courtney Love. We've been friends since my days as toastmaster du jour of the Seattle rock scene. Anyway, like everything with Courtney, this came up semi-unexpectedly, so I regret not being able to round up some guest bloggers in advance of this latest mini-vacation. But for those that think we're slowing down...in the words of Bachman Turner Overbite, you ain't seen nothin' yet!

Yes, we're just about to kick things into high gear. Tomorrow, I'll be bringing you my review of the newly-published 9-11 Commission Report (I can't wait to find out "whodunnit"). And next week begins our coverage of the Democratic National Convention. I'm really excited about this; this will be the first national convention I've covered that didn't primarily consist of people dressed up as Klingons. After that, the Olympics. Not sure I see a story there, but if it turns out there's a dark and hidden underbelly to professional athletics, you can bet I'll be the guy to find it. Finally, things come full circle early September with the Republican convention in NYC. It's an opportunity for all Americans to reflect upon the last three years and how much we've changed since the tragedy was first exploited. I can't wait.

Hoping your summer is as exciting as mine,

LF
