My hard drive has failed me. Sigh. I think it is gone for good. So until I get a new one I will have very limited access to internet. I have my work computer, but it has limited access. I think I will use the time wasted sufing the net by doing productive things, though wasting time is way more fun.
I went to the vegan festival yesterday, which was fun and amazingly crowded. The food was pretty good and it was nice to see so many like minded people.  I …

The boat was rocking on what felt like 3-4 foot waves, so it was like a combination boat / roller coaster.

So I lean against a tree for balance and this squirrel runs over, probably thinking I have food, and stops in front of me. I glared at it, so it would run away (you are …

It is very interesting to me that the Brits care about the US so much! Especially US politics. On the one hand, a lot of people seem reluctant to say anything for fear of rocking the boat – I am sure they think I am just another gun toting, Bush loving, cowboy dancing (?)
