I was just about to bemoan having to spend an entire week without fresh workproduct from my double-weblogging Pasadena buddy, George Wallace, when I discovered that he’s promising to publish a few post-posted postings at A Fool in the Forest while he’s on vacation. I’m not sure if his Declarations & Exclusions will be similarly refreshed (but, let’s face it, insurance law is not my thing).
As any visitor can tell from his two very different web ventures, George is a man of extremes, and of many talents. His vacation will take him from dog sledding to dessert settings, which calls for some fancy accessorizing and packing.
Remembering what it’s like to prepare for a week away from the office (even before weblogs were invented), I’m certain George’s In Box looked a lot like the one pictured above when this week began. By this afternoon’s final burst of office activity, I assume both In and Out Boxes looked
like this:

George is under strict orders to bring no computer or other web-accessing device on this vacation jaunt. Mrs. Wallace is clearly a Wise Person, and Mr. Wallace is not Fool enough to disobey.
