In case you failed to notice, you didn’t have Dan Foster to kick around last week. I was on a working vacation in California. Okay it was mostly vacation, but I did chase down two stories you’ll hopefully be seeing in NRODT in the next couple of issues.

I liked San Diego less than I’d thought. L.A. more. The Pacific Coast Highway and Big Sur are everything they’re cracked up to be.

Did anything crazy happen while I was gone? Like, I dunno, Levi Johnston running for mayor of Wasilla or Greg Gutfeld building a gay super-disco next to the Ground Zero mosque?

Wait. What??
