Columbus day, a day to celebrate colonialism and destruction. I never understood how anyone in their right mind could have thought that Columbus discovered anything. If I were to climb over the fence in my back yard and end up in your yard, you would not say that I discovered your back yard. You obviously had discovered your own back yard, I instead came and stole your family and put them on boats to sail back to England, did I mention you all have small pox now. Tuff break. Hurrah Columbus day!

Seriously, its a pretty messed up day. We are celebrating some odd stuff here. In more temporally local news things have been going swimmingly. I miss Tess a lot, but she is in the law school and is busy busy busy. Which is good in a way because she is getting really really smart and one day will be able to use all that new brain mass for good. I can see her charging the ramparts of the legal system to fight for what is right and what is good.

I on the other hand have been developing my den mother skills. I feel they get better and better each day. Soon I will have group dynamics down. That is of course until the next blow up, or break down. But you know I have top marks till then.

Went to NH this weekend, lovely. I hiked a tiny mountain and saw lots of really nice leaves, and of course got to see Tess who is the nicest mountain and prettiest leaf of them all. It’s true.
