I’m not shaping up to be much of a blogger, am I? Nearly a month has passed between entries. My excuse is simple: my life is rather average. Rather than write daily entries chronicling the mundane I try to wait until I have a grand or amusing anecdote to relate. My life being what it is, the wait may sometimes be significant.

Since my last post, I have traveled. My eldest brother was appointed to run a federal committee, so I went to Washington, DC to attend the swearing in ceremony. Alberto Gonzalez swore him in; I’ve never heard of him, but rumors abound that he’s poised to be someone someday. He seems a nice enough fellow.

The trip was rather uneventful. I spent time with my brother and his family, and took an overnight trip to New York to catch up with some friends there. While in New York I ate Tibetan food and attended a party. That was pretty fun, actually. The only real downer was that Sue couldn’t get time off work to come on the trip with me, which meant we had to spend Valentine’s Day apart, but I made it up to her upon returning.

I hope that was worth the month-long wait.
