No picture today because “Judy Woodruff is away.” Thanks, Amna. I could see that.

I take two days off and Judy leaves town. Gotta keep an eye on her every minute. Wait, did Amna say Judy was on vacation or “away”? And should we infer causality: the blog stopped ergo Judy walked off the set (which is really her house)?

I saved Friday’s episode and Mark Shields wasn’t back, either.

Either things are falling apart or it’s July in Washington. Maybe both.

Let’s try again tomorrow!
