Sorry, I'm blissing out

Just checking in. Deb and I are back from a brief vacation in Carmel, just a couple hours north of here, and I'm still "blissing out" from all the gorgeous weather, terrific food and wine, and fun art galleries. I can't even get a decent rant going about Karl Rove right now. Imagine! The single thing Carmel lacks is a really great bookstore. The only one left in town -- several have closed since I last visited two years ago -- is a teeny New Age metaphysical shop...not that there's anything wrong with that. See you shortly.
