If I were to claim that the piles of papers and books that trip you up when you visit my condo were the result of an outside force, you’d laugh at me.

The Bush Admistration screwed up in the months preceding 9/11 in a big way.

In two days time, I’ll be on the road to San Mateo for the conference. Miles and miles of cotton, a marsh, and brown hills lie between me and my destination. Unless people are willing to meet me in Buttonwillow or Lost Hills, there won’t be any stops along the way. Just a six and a half hour stretch out of LaLa Land into the Silly Con Valley. Thanks to Lynn for agreeing to go on this trip with me. Having my closest friend along will help quite a bit.
