Slacking...

Although no promises were made, I though I would be able to post more than I have. Oh, w"ell, I'm not losing any sleep over the lack of posts. This is, after all, my vacation and my sister's wedding, the shower for which was tonight.

I know things are still happening "back east," many of them interesting, controversial things that make blogging fun. Instead...

OK, that was interesting. Now, here's my mother:

The two of them just turned over the computer to me. I have no idea what they were discussing. I no longer live in Howard County, just moved to Jefferson County West Virginia (Harpers Ferry). They have a whole bunch of different political issues there, and a local activist group just managed to unseat the core of the county school board [She's underselling this election, which was far nastier than anything we see in HoCo -- ed]. So basically, the system can work on a local basis. Just so much harder to get rid of the national bastards ... Keep the faith.

Here's my wife:

So, that's my family. Maybe you have a better sense of who I am, or not. If you've read this far, congratulations...and sorry. Next week, I promise, it's back to the real stuff.

For now, here's a picture from mountain biking today in Sourdough Canyon, taken with the cell phone.
