Blog taking a short recess

As happens more than you'd suppose, both Nerdy History Girls have deadlines looming at the same time.

Since one of us can't fill in for the other, we will, for the next few days, be blogging only sporadically, if at all, and writing desperately so that our editors don't hate us and cast us out upon the cruel world to find a real job.

Please bear with us—and expect our regularly scheduled blogging to recommence on Sunday, with new, fresh breakfast links!
