text: For me personally, this means my long-weekend in South Florida should become a much-needed reality tomorrow morning. As long as streets remain quiet and the airport stays open (it closed for several days following the last announcement), Sara and I will be sipping margaritas on the beach through Monday.
  The ensuing drunkenness may mean no posts till Tuesday (we’ll see) and my inability to officially pass along the “Memetastic Award” Clouded Marble cursed honored me with 2 days ago. Sorry for this delay until next week, but in the meantime, you should visit her amazing blog and check out the other winners, who, I assume, will not be beaching it up in Miami this weekend, and may post something you’d enjoy reading in my absence.
  In the meantime, check out my archive to catch up on posts you may have missed. And enjoy the genuine genius always available on my blogroll.
  That’s all the house-keeping this blog can handle for one morning, but I will continue tidying from the sands of South Beach–a Kindle in one hand, a cool beverage in the other.
  Within the last few minutes we got word that former dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier has returned to Haiti, landing at the Port-au-Prince, Toussaint Louverture International Airport at 5:30pm EST on an Air France flight from Paris.
  We don’t know yet what this means or why he’s here for the first time since exiled in 1986, but it’s hard to imagine this is a good development.
  I’ll keep everyone posted as soon as I hear anything more. In the meantime this article from the National Post might interest some of you.
