At the crack of my ass dawn tomorrow morning, we shall board a plane for exotic and glamorous...Cincinatti.
Which is exciting, no?
Yeah, I know. Don't let your enthusiasm burst a button on your trousers or anything.
Have no fear, my devoted Cake Eater readers, that's not our final destination. We shall then catch a connection to warm and sunny Phoenix, Arizona, where we will stay for as long as it takes me to satisfy my In-N-Out jones. Then we shall get on the freeway and head south. WAY south. Past Tucson. To border country, where the in-laws just moved.
At that point the plan is that the husband and I are going to soak up as much sun and eighty-degree temperatures as we possibly can while we hang out with his family. If any satellites are downed from orbit whilst we're on vacation, it'll be my fault. Because I have some white, white legs going on currently. I apologize in advance for reflecting light back into space and damaging sensitive electronic equipment. Really, I don't know what I was thinking.
Anyway... I'm sure you, my devoted Cake Eater readers are wondering what's in store for you during my vacation. You see, I could leave you high and dry for five days, but I decided I wouldn't do that to you because you are, indeed, my devoted Cake Eater readers. I didn't want you all reverting to the Asian lesbian pr0n that you surfed before you found me. So, I recruited guest bloggers. Lots and lots of guest bloggers.
Aren't I thoughtful?
Yes, I know. You can thank me later when you read the dramatic stylings of Chrissy from JustDotChristina; the wicked humor of Agent Bedhead; the laid back ponderings of Bogus Doug; and, of course, the general wackiness of my dear pals Robbo and Steve, the Llamabutchers.
You, my devoted Cake Eater readers, also need to extend a warm welcome to a n00b who's making his HMTL debut: rabid commenter, Russ from Winterset, who will, in a few short weeks, be traveling to Dallas for the Big Twelve Tourney in his capacity as the Cake Eater Basketball Correspondent. Give him a warm welcome and a really hard time, because undoubtedly the power of the post will go to his head.
I will have the laptop with me, but I don't expect too much time for posting, as I will be making a concentrated effort to down satellites with my lack of pigmentation. I might pop in. I might not. You'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Have a good week, kids, and I'll see you next Thursday if not sooner.

If the blogosphere is, as so many say, just a million monkeys typing, well, what is it when reporters for many mainstream media publications manage to pump out the same damn article over and over again?
Just wondering.

Now, I know more than 100K people have been to the Cake Eater Chronicles because the server stats tell me so. (For every hit the sitemeter registers, the server stats tell me there are two that it doesn't catch. You can do the math.) But, the sitemeter, for a very long time, was all I had. And even though I have fancy stats, technorati and the ecosystem, it's sometimes the only way I know who's coming here and why---and it never ceases being fun seeing what some of you freaks typed into Google that brought you here. It's also nice seeing regular readers in the logs, because, well, it means you keep coming back for more.
Anyway, since it's 12:30 and I want to go to bed, I'll stop rambling about stats and say "thank you" to my devoted Cake Eater Readers, who will turn that thing over because you are, in fact, devoted.
