Did you miss Left Field?

Did you miss us? Leaving aside the snarky answer, 'Yes, Dave, with every shot,' we hope we were missed or at least that our absence was noted. We were on vacation ('holidays' to the Brits). Or as we told a collegaue, we were interviewing the chief executive of air somnolent, famned for their in-flight lie-flat seats. Now we're back. Take note or take aim.
