Movie Recommendation
I do not say this lightly or with any exaggeration: "Hundreds of Beavers" is easily the funniest movie I have seen in 30 years, and it may be the single greatest film in human history.

On The Road Again
We’re driving up to Utah today, and then up to Idaho Falls tomorrow, to take care of business in Jackson, and do a little tour of Yellowstone and Grand Teton. I’ll have the laptop with me, but don’t know how much blogging I’ll be doing. It’s the closest thing we’ve had to a vacation this year (not counting the visit to Florida last month, which was more family).
[Tuesday-morning update]
Spent the night in Richfield, UT. We occasionally stop here on our way to/from Denver from LA, because it’s a motel we like, and it’s a good halfway point. Heading up to Idaho Falls, ID today, to spend three days.

Labor Day
We all know what it means.

Light Blogging
We’re driving to Phoenix today, then to Sedona tomorrow for a few days. I’ll take the laptop, but it’s the first vacation we’ve had since last summer’s trip to Yosemite, so posting may be light.

…gives us something to stand for.
We’ll probably go.

Memorial Day
It’s a time for recollection, not celebration.
Like the 4th of July, too many of our holidays have lost their meaning, becoming just an excuse for partying and a three-day weekend. When you grill your meat, think of those who lost so many holidays so that you could have yours.
