I'm too sick and cranky (which wasn't helped any watching my alma mater play 32 ugly minutes of girls' basketball in its state playoff game ... two points in the first quarter ... stench) to be literarily clever today. I'll try to do better tomorrow. There are good vacation stories to share, including an overall poor flesh/fabric ratio in swimwear (complete with photos); future employment plans of one of the crazy nephews (also with photos); and abandoned feminine hygiene in the middle of a fitness center (fortunately, no photos). I'll get to those as soon as I can.

For now, I'll leave you with this interesting article about the Evil Empire.
