Why does Snoop Dogg always carry an umbrella?

I've been working really hard lately, so I worked it out to take some time off work. As such, I'll be gone tomorrow and all of next week.

What this means is, I won't be posting for about 10 days. (Sorry to spring this on you. But I figured, too much build-up would just sound self-centered. As if it's some great disruption to your lives or something. I know it's not; it's just a disruption to mine.)

When I come back, I plan on having 4-5 chapters of "Taylor House" queued up and ready to go.

So, instead of sub-letting these perfect blue buildings out to a guest-blogger, I think I'll just lock up at the end of the day, and let the dust settle for a bit. Feel free to leave impassioned pleas for me to audioblog while i'm away. Or whatever. Consider the comment box an open thread. Discuss amongst yourselves. I won't give you a topic.

[Come back this evening--I may toss up some Brown-Bag Poetry later on, if you're into that. We'll see how it plays out.]

But yeah, I'll be back in a week and a half. In the meantime, you really need to check out Amanda's online novel. She's doing some really good work.

So I guess that's it. Thanks for reading. Try not to miss me too much while I'm gone. Catch you guys later.

P.S. Oh, you want to know the punchline to the title? Okay.

Q: Why does Snoop Dogg always carry an umbrella?
