In a story about the summer-camp atmosphere pervading Michael Bloomberg's historically expensive and very, very confident mayoral campaign, Bloomberg consultant Hank Sheinkopf told me, from a resort in Florida, that he was hard at work for the mayor and wouldn't take vacation until the summer.

Apparently that time has come. I just emailed Sheinkopf for a separate story and got this message back:

"On vacation. Out of the country. Gone fishin'. Be back July 8th."
