And Mama in her kerchief, and I in my cap...
Well, it's that time of year again. It's been a mixed bag this year, with some serious bad stuff and some really uplifting stuff, both personally and in the world at large.

And the Summer of Suck continues
Well, we ran away from home a few days ahead of Gustav, and came to stay with my parents. Just in time, it seems, because this is the week... well, there's not a fun way to say this.
