It’s blogcation time!
Don’t even know if blogcation is a word. Ok, I made it up last year when I went on vacation. DOBservations will be on hiatus until the first week of August when I return. Until then, follow me on Twitter at www.twitter.com/dob23 — I post stuff there all the time. Before I check out, happy [...]
