Oddball Update

When I first had the bright idea to prefix my entry titles with “Travelogue” while we’re overseas, I didn’t really stop to consider the result: that every post I make for the whole rest of this trip would start with that word.

Our travel date nears, and so, as you might expect, preparations for said trip have just about reached fever pitch around here.

I went to pick up some homemade soup for Apple today. Her Thai friend down at her workplace had made her something special, so when I stopped in to get it, we got to talking a little bit.

During the infamous 2000 general election, Florida — in particular Palm Beach County — took the national spotlight, and phrases like “voter irregularities” and “hanging chads” became part of the American lexicon.

I don’t often write about politics on this blog. Okay, to be more specific, I never do. One post does not a trend make, so I haven’t created a “Politics” category or anything, but this one post simply had to be written.
