I'm sorry about this late notice and all, Ball Don't Lie readers, but this post will be my last one for a little while. (Please stop throwing that confetti.) I'm going on vacation.

Ms. Skeets has actually had this adventure planned for quite some time now. You see, she's smart enough to know that as soon as Halloween hits, my love, time and attention quickly turns to NBA highlights, box scores, mysterious things behind box scores, my solo album, and, ugh, Tas Melas. Hence, this trip.

So in a few hours, I'll be on a plane to Copenhagen, which I'm told is located somewhere in Denmark. I don't speak any Danish, I know very little about the Scandinavians and I'm afraid of tall women. Should be a blast.

The man, the myth, the guitar hero, Kelly Dwyer will be here to take you through the media day festivities next week. Rumor has it he's also got some more KDs DVDs ready to roll. Sweet! I'll be back on Monday, October 6th. We'll start up our team previews then.

OK, that's it. I'll let you know if I run into Benson via Twitter. Bye.
