Answers & Semi-Hiatus

I know it seems like I haven't been posting much lately -- because I haven't -- but it's going to get even worse (or better, depending on your perspective) for the next few weeks. I'm driving down to Los Angeles in a few hours and will spend Labor Day weekend and all next week there. Then I'll be back home for five brief days, after which Mrs. Generik (who, unfortunately, will not be accompanying me to SoCal) and I head up into the wilds of the Eastern Sierra for a long week of camping. So this blog is pretty much going dark for a while, unless I find some time and inspiration to post something that just can't wait in this upcoming week, while I still have internet access. Because I won't once I'm up in the woods.

In the meantime, here are the answers to this week's super-easy double Motown dip. And just to reassure anyone out there who might be wondering about a possible diminishing of his powers, let me confirm that the mighty Eric B -- with whom I'll be spending some serious quality time on Saturday and Sunday -- got every one of these lines right.
