Gone for a few days...

And I haven't a clue whats going on in the world.

For instance, I arrived back at work today to discover that the New Girl had found another job and was leaving. What?...

While we were gone I didn't watch a minute of news, didn't read a single blog or check out a single news site. Talk about being in the dark!

I was surprised to learn that not much has changed in the Middle East over those 5-plus days. Equally surprising, to me at least, was this look at the morphing of Syria's role in the conflict.
