home again

[threeplusfire]

We spent the afternoon in the pool, which was entertaining. I think I avoided getting a sunburn and just browned fairly evenly. Might have swallowed a bit too much chlorinated water along the way, as I felt a little queasy on the way home. Cate & the boys were driving into Austin, so we all ate dinner at our favorite taqueria. Mmm delicious gordita and torta. I am so full.

I talk about food an awful lot.

One of the first things I saw on the news at home was footage of the funerals in Beslan. The raw, unrehearsed and uncontrolled grief was stunning. You never see it like that in America, or on the news. The victims' families are always so controlled, or retiring in their grief.

It was pointed out to me this weekend that John Kerry has an odd resemblence to Andrew Jackson.

Yeahhh... I see it, too. Hopefully, though, Kerry will create a Trail of Tears for this administration and no one else.

The Trail of Weeping Oligarchs?

Also, I saw an old school picture of Kerry the other day (my ex-housemate teaches at his old school) and holy shit does he look like Fred Savage. But with more hair.

Now that's a funny thought!

Kerry just has to take it down a notch because
he just has too much energy and charisma
Is Jackson just Kerry's deep southern cousin?

It's not unreasonable to imagine there is some relation, I would think.
