![Feet in the water, mind off the blog 1 a beach (oh well, so it's California)](https://www.theartblog.org/wp-content/uploaded/2008/07/Artblog-beach-California-500x375.jpg)
Happy 4th, everyone. To me Independence Day means our pending independence from George W. Bush. Can’t come soon enough.
I’m off to a week on the Long Island North Shore (and I don’t mean the Hamptons), trying to stay cool and not work too much. The blog will probably be kinda sleepy this week.
Hold the emails and I’ll see you when I return.
