Fortune Favored

As observed yesterday, I had a really good trip to the States.

That said, I am relieved to be back home before the Swine Flu Paranoia hits level six—or is that level 7? The rate at which concern about the disease has exploded is somewhat shocking to me—Of course, I’m writing this at 40,000 feet […]

The first bit of road was I-69 from Fort Wayne, Indiana, down to Anderson where I grabbed breakfast and drank about a gallon of coffee. I […]
