Programming note: After Andy Barch's Friday morning blog, we'll be off the holiday weekend, and I'll be hoping my dog doesn't have a heart attack from fireworks.
In the meantime, we'll have blogs through the rest of the week, but we won't have another show until Monday morning.
Lastly: Nick Seuberling and his wife pump-faked us. Nick was at the hospital Sunday night, but Sara was in false labor. So he'll be out of the blog rotation for a little while, but back in the saddle when everything gets settled with his new baby boy and girl.
Now, onto the links!
