As CQ readers know, I will be leaving for Washington DC for a week-long vacation in our nation's capital. We've turned this into a family trip, with the First Mate joining me and my mother (Vayapaso) and my sister meeting us for parts of the week. None of us have been to DC before, and we're all looking forward to the trip.

My vacation started last night, as I'm taking today off to finalize some arrangements for the dogs and the house ad, of course, start packing. Vacation for a blogger doesn't mean that blogging will stop; I plan to continue posting throughout my trip, hopefully with photos of a few of the sights of DC. However, it does mean that my pace will slow down a bit. For that reason, I have invited commenter extraordinaire and long-time correspondent Dafydd ab Hugh aboard as a guest blogger. His first post, just below this one, delivers a blockbuster revelation about Iranian president-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Knowing Dafydd, he will deliver many such revelations and generate plenty of controversy, and I know you'll enjoy his writing.

Much more to come later this morning. I decided to sleep in on the first day, flush with my winnings at the poker championship ... but that's another story entirely, as Dafydd will tell you.
