a universe of cleverness




This is a marvelous bit of fun, brought to you courtesy of Monty Python and that group's remaining members at the Royal Albert Hall. Originally performed in 2007, this version was recorded in 2009. It has some clear analogies to the 2008 election and some other very funny updates. Listen carefully, esp. to Michael Palin (hint, hint!). Available from the Flix®. Don't miss it.

So what's been going on this week? Turn-around trip to Long Beach; dinner with Alex, Pete and grand-kids. Andrew and Emily are such nice child-people; smart, funny, no sullen behavior, easy to talk to, responsive. You know, everything you hope for in the next generation. Picked up the family furniture, spent the night and headed back home on Monday. Then daughter Caitlin jetted in from Bozeman on Thursday; had dinner, spent the night, got caught up on all granddog news and other miscellaneous gossip, and she jetted out this afternoon. She is also smart, funny, no sullen behavior, easy to talk to. And she IS the next generation. We'll be going to Bozeman next month for a week's visit.

As for us here in the valley, nasty north wind is always a plague at this time of year. Toppled our patio umbrellas in the night and made white-caps on the pool. There are more important things going on in the world than that. But they are so overwhelming; if I were to return to Mexico I wouldn't know anything about them and just might sleep better.
