It's been awful quiet around here the last couple of months, and it's going to continue to be that way for another couple of weeks. But I'm not sad about it, because I'm off for vacation in Turkey.
I may come back with all kinds of insights about the history of Western civilization, life on the border of Europe and Asia, the inner workings of a secular democracy where 98% of the people self-identify as observant Muslims and the melting of decades of diplomatic ice. But I may not. The plan is to make the mind a blank slate and see what fills it up.
And if all that gets written on that slate is 11 days of warm sun and crazy sights and sounds, so be it.
