I'll be out of town the next three weeks. The blog will mostly hum along as usual, with the possible exception of Tuesday through Thursday of this week, when I may or may not have internet access. If no posts appear on those days, expect us back on Friday, when Kevin will have a review of Frederic Malle Geranium Pour Monsieur.
