I’m off to Rome through the 1st of October. But in my absence, New York Sun higher-education reporter and serial-bigamist Jacob Gershman will be your guest blogger.

He’s got a lot of wives and a lot of opinions, and he’ll be sharing them (the opinions) with you throughout the week.

A few Robo-Posts will appear daily from me, but I’ll be happily eating gelato in a far away land with the girlfriend — and almost certainly without Internet access.

So, it’s been real. And it will shortly be real again.

Just do it.
