My family and I will be on vacation this week and next, visiting Helen’s relatives in California. With luck, we’ll also be at San Francisco Pride, soaking up some of the matrimonial excitement, but our primary obligation this trip is to family.

We’ll also be heading out to a rustic location for a few days. The lodge where we’re staying is supposed to have WiFi, but I don’t want to assume it will be working. I also suspect Helen may tie socks around my hands so I can’t type and am forced to take a break.

Posting will therefore be light, although I’ve set a few things to post automatically, including a nice guest piece about lesbian parenting in a country outside the U.S. If I can sneak out at night and post while everyone’s asleep, though, you may hear more from me. Stop by and see.

Comment moderation will also be slow. If you’ve posted a comment before, you shouldn’t have a problem. If not (or if you’ve changed e-mail addresses), it may be held in the queue until I can check it. (This is an effort to control spam, not to censor.)

We’ll be back in full swing around here on July 7.
