Remember Me?

Hey, I'm back! And I have lots of thoughts on, among other things, rain, flying with two children under 3 1/2, rain, the superiority of Californian fruits and vegetables, the correct number of children's books needed for a trip of two weeks involving at least 6 family members, rain, the correct number of adult books needed for same period, the wierdness of Berkeley bookstores, the inferiority of Californian central heating, rain, and also, rain. However, it's 70 degrees outside, another set of family members is arriving in a few days, and we suddenly noticed that our house is no longer visible due to the mountains of leaves and branches that we let build up on the lawn all winter. So, my dissertation on Green Mars and tourism will have to wait a little bit.
