What a shame that Rod Blagojovich didn't think to copyright "blogosphere." He'd have a lot more money to pay all those pesky legal bills.
Well it's been a very very long time, 7 months actually! But as the west winds carry the crisp scent of autumn to our noses and the leaves begin to turn, I feel the welcome return of my favorite time of the year. And so I too have returned, if only to make a few pecks at the keyboard.
Let's see, where to begin? Well, Brett Favre is still color blind. The GOP is still a cynical collection of DBs and the average American voter has an attention span as short as his memory. Oh, and my birthday is coming up. We're going to a fantastic Szechaun (more properly, Sichaun MORE properly 四川 ) BYO restaurant Han Dynasty. I never thought I'd eat Chinese outside Chinatown, but this place is awesome. Tasty, authentic, dial-a-heat food served by a helpful owner (and ex-porn star). If you're nice, the owner may even pour you a complimentary shot of Baijiu, which I discovered is the Chinese word for drain cleaner.
In other news, my wife and I Visited Paris in May. So I guess I can drone on about that. In summary, the food was wonderful and could be had at manageable prices. I found that with simple courtesy and an effort to speak a little French (mine is at the high school freshman level, right where I left it) Parisians are accommodating and not rude at all. They are, however, slobs. They seem to relish littering their fair city, as if to say "Bien sûr, nous merde où l'on mange! Jaloux?" Of course I expect this lack of civic pride stems at least in part from the need to create make work for legions of immigrant street cleaners who rise before dawn to sweep away the detritus of locals and tourists alike.
Later . . . some more details, but for now, enjoy the view
