Did you get a look at the bodyguard for the Australian Prime Minister today? I want to be that guy.
The Australian PM, Julia Gillard, was surrounded by an angry group of aboriginal protesters and security decided that it would be best for her to leave quickly. As a part-time protester, I can't help but wonder about the history of poor communication there, but that's a subject for another day.
So off the PM goes with the riot police and the bodyguards.

Almost 50 Ways to Be Late
In an effort to look on the bright side, I have decided to view my punctuality issues as a gift.
There are many of you who are no doubt plagued with the curse of habitually being on time, or worse - early. You have been looking for a savior. I am here for you. Follow my simple tips and you will never find yourself seeing all the previews, getting the best seats, or waiting for others again.
(Caution: These steps do not work for Germans or Swedes who seem to be wired for punctuality. Even I am on time in Berlin.)

Days, Memories, and the Moon Rolls Round
"Welcome to the worst twelve months of your life."
This was my family physician's response to news that my husband and I had separated, thus earning him the nickname of Dr. Smiley from now on.
There's only one way to take a comment like that from someone you respect greatly: be thankful that five months of it are out of the way.

Thanksgiving
First holiday away from my children. Ugh. First holiday when I get to talk to other people about their first holidays away from their children. Not half bad.

Mementos of Occupy Richmond (4:00 AM - 1:00 AM 10/31/11)
Reminder: This story is told backwards. Got that, anonymous reader known as Chris?
4:00 AM Monday morning in Richmond, VA 10/31/11 –
“They are in the trees.”
“Can I go in there?”
“Please. “ I direct the young man with the hot Krispy Kremes to the new hiding place of 7 of my homeless friends. We just finished the breakfast I rescued from camp but it was cold. A little hot grease and sugar is always welcome.
