34. Hey, Tansy!

Nov 2013

Been a while since I've been up here regularly.

Esp in the last month. Spent 3 weeks in the UK and the time difference alone precluded posting and flaky internet precluded even lurking!

Headed back for another 2 weeks tomorrow then I'm mostly home for the next 2 months! Woo hoo!


Been thinking lately about who would end up running next year. It's odd that we're a year out from election day and there isn't really any candidate on either side who's even trying to make a serious run.
