Dan Froomkin had envisioned he could utilize President Bush's (shortened) annual August vacation as an opportunity to relax and take a break from his widely-read White House Briefing column...

"It's August. Bush is on vacation... Barring major news, the column will go dark Thursday and Friday -- and will return on Monday, August 14."

And as we know, there is no news today. Way to go, Dan, you jinxed yourself.

pS, My fiancee and I will be flying from San Francisco to Newark in a month, and then to Europe (but not London) afterwards, so hopefully this is all cleared up by then. I really don't hate flying; I hate waiting to fly.

ppS, Yes, you guessed correctly. Our wedding is approaching.
