Shelly is back in town! I’m absolutely ecstatic. Boston didn’t quite work out, but things in Florida are shaping up in unexpected and wonderful ways, so it looks like Florrida’s where we’ll be staying…at least for the next few years. We may yet end up in Boston, though not for another 2-4 years, depending on how her school goes.

I had a dream last night that I was bar-hopping in Ybor, and I came across the last living Australopithecus robustus, an early ancestor to man, sittiing on the sidewalk. I asked him, “Considering that you’re five or six times stronger than us, how do you suppose we won the evolutionary game and you lost?” He pondered for a while, and said “I can’t think of a reason.” “That really says it all, doesn’t it?” I replied, and wandered off.
