I'm back

I'm back from vacation and trying to sort through the backlog of phone messages, e-mails, story ideas and coverage plans that build up when you're away for two weeks.

Right out of the gate it looks like we'll be dealing with another presidential visit this week. AP is reporting that President Bush is coming to his parents' place at Walker's Point in Kennebunkport this weekend.

The big question now is whether he'll meet with President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, who, according to today's Boston Globe, is enjoying the sun and fun on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.

Looks like we could be in for another round of stories about an international summit. But then again, Bush may not generate any news other than the visit itself.
