Well, given this news, I’ve had a few calls and e-mails wondering what will happen to the blog after this week.

(Sam’s note: When I wore my Wonder Woman belt a few days ago and got stopped by some random people who wondered where I got it, I pointed them to my blog so they could read the profile of the store …. but I discovered that for some reason or another, I never posted it! My belated apologies to Vivi — and here’s the article, which originally ran March 2.)

It’s time for another long weekend — I know, isn’t it awesome? — so there will be no updates until Tuesday, July 22. (Maybe Monday, if I feel industrious.)  This time I’m off to Palm Springs, where the weather will be … exactly like it is in Phoenix, actually, but the atmosphere is a lot more fun.

In the interim, there’s this news: When we switched blog hosts, we lost a lot of our coding, paragraph returns, photos. Today I have finally finished recoding and adding photos to all of the What’s In Store features here on sammit.  So please feel free to browse through past editions — there’s a “Categories” box over to the lower right that lets you go back as far as I’ve been writing them.  Enjoy!
