Another good weekend to bookend my four days of monotony, excuse, and explaination. Friday peter and erin came by for xtina and mines first dinner party (of sorts). Everything went togather without a hitch and we made it to the theatre in time to catch "Confederate States of America," which was a total disappointment. Great premise, poor execution. Saturday I marched in my first-ever St. Patricks day parade. Walking down the middle of a crowded N. Division was surreal to say the least. The warm weather is over and we're back to winter drudgery. I was getting optimistic too - crocuses were blooming, windows were left open, bleakness alleviating.
I've finally finished "The Geography of Nowhere." I loved every minute of it and now I'm going to read the newest Kurt Vonnegut book. Xtina loved it as evidenced by her intermittant laughing while reading in the car last sunday. I don't have much on which to update you, dear reader. I feel like I'm finally getting ahold of my life again. Staying on top of social obligations, giving attention where attention is due, and actually doing something on the weekend makes me feel much more fulfilled. This Saturday I will be at the "three year anniversary of the start of the Iraq war" demonstration at veterans park. Perhaps you should come down.

That Vonnegut is really pretty good. I like crotchety old socialists with a wicked sense of humor.
you're getting a hold of your life 'again'? when were you ever a hold of it in the first place?
