It does not bode well for your activity level during the day when you resort to hitting “Random Entry” on Wikipedia in hopes of reading something interesting.\nParticularly sad when, upon doing so for 10 minutes, the most interesting entry you get is on a former Real World<\/i> star-turned-professional-wrestler, and the other random entries include three appearances of the same small township in Germany.
\nAfter all the hubbub surrounding the wedding\/New York trip\/sightseeing with the family\/visiting with my agent, the last few weeks have been nigh on bucolic… complete with wolf-attacks*, granted, but still… It’s been a lot of house-cleaning, donating of old stuff to charity, planting new things in the front yard and on the back deck.
\nIn a few days, Kate and I head to Los Cabos for our honeymoon — the sort of vacation that involves very little activity and a fair number of books and margaritas — if anyone has any fun suggestions on things to do or see while lounging under the seaside sun**, please drop them in the comments.
\nAside from that, I’d like to talk about this little writing project I started up, but not quite yet: I think I’m going to work on it a bit, first, and then reveal it once it picks up a bit more steam.

\nMore later: in the meantime, I’ll keep typing away and might have something fun to share in a few weeks.

\n** – Ahhh, sun. The dependable<\/i> sun of a desert resort, not the inconstant and fickle Denver sun, which is blazingly uncomfortable one day, and hiding under a cloudy blanket of sleet and rain the next. The great irony of the phrase global warming is that the specific results are more shocking locally, and only involve extremes of heat<\/i> about half the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
