Sure, the 'Nut wasn't feeling so hot so we spent a lot of time in our room...cuddled up...without the kids...with the sound of the surf...ahem.

While I'm not optimistic about most of the corporate owners of media outlets these days, I AM optimistic (especially after this weekend) about the people.
There will always be storytellers. We just won't be doing it the way we've done it the last 60 years or so, and we probably won't be doing it for the companies we've been working for. And that, my dearest readers, is really exciting.
