Stretching over Christmas and New Years, I managed to disappear for about 11 days. A drastic and fantastic escape from reality. I think we slept in 4 different states?

To me, September feels more like "New Year's" time than January does, because for most of my life it's been linked to the beginnings of two very important annual events - the school year and the fall TV season. Back-to-school will still impact my life for at least nine more years, but recently, the arrival of new TV episodes in the fall has met with less fanfare. There are a few reasons for that - being able to do my own TV scheduling, thanks to the DVR and TV on DVD, is a big one, but another iTokyo Auto Salon 2009

We've recently returned from some vacation time in our former hometown of Washington, DC. I was struck by the depth and breadth of excitement about the inauguration and the new administration.

Virtually everyone has a plan for Inauguration Day, an opinion about the new appointments, and an eaAmerican Voices Raised Against Gaza Massacre
by Jennifer Epps / www.opednews.com / originally posted Jan. 4, 2009 Like they did for the Iraq War, the corporate media has grossly under-represented this week’s U.S. peace protests against Israel’s assault on Gaza. A Dec. 31st Associated Press story on the protests reported that “hundreds” of people had participated in “pro-Palestinian protests” on Tues., Dec. 30th, and made it seem as if these protests had only occurred in five cities: N.Y.C, L.A., Tampa and Fort Lauderdale, and DearborReid Attempts To Remain Relevant
