Since Last We Spoke, 6-10-13

Well, it’s hard to believe, but I won’t be stepping foot in an airport for 5 weeks. Just one road trip this week to spend some qulity time with the Army in Charlottesville, but aside from that, my work is all local. Gives me a little breathing room, and some time to catch up on odds and ends. So here’s what I’ve been reading since last we spoke:
