Sorry to be so silent…the holidays were a furious rush followed by a week of wandering amongst the ruins of Chichén Itzá, Cobá, and (spectacular) Tulúm, punctuated by lots of delicious Mexican food (oh, the guacamole we ate!) and a little poolside and beach lounging, and driving from here to there. Aside from the mosquitoes, it was a blast!
We got home to rainy Vancouver, and it feels now like it was months ago. Le sigh!
We have a fairly full agenda in upcoming weeks of music and dining, not to mention our four-month wedding anniversary 
and then off to New Orleans for honeymoon part 2/Olympics avoidance.
I need another two weeks of vacation–travel is such a damn pain in the ass right now.
Health care of some sort may pass, although it will be a poor and distorted reflection of what most civilized first-world countries provide their citizens.
Sarah Palin has found her natural home–amongst a passel of second-rate pseudo-journalists and snake-oil salesmen. I wonder how many actual analysts Fox will have to employ if they want anything approaching actual analysis to pass through her lipsticky lips–and then how many writers and explainers and coaches to try to get her to express it coherently…that could end the economic recession right there in one fell swoop!
A few pics later, perhaps.
