It's Been A Long Time: Whew. Final edits for Business As Usual are submitted (hooray!). And as a reward for your continued patience I offer you a couple of articles.

First, over at blogcritics we have an extend musing on cheesy action films, James Bond, Chopsocky and Stupid Hotel Tricks. As you will no doubt realize, this all came to me during my recent travels. You may notice bits and pieces of past material reworked with a stricking effect. Or not.

Second, months late, you get Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch, a recap of my mid summer journey to Canyon Ranch Health Resort in the scalding Arizona desert.

And soon, I will get back to posting some of my garden variety nonsense, and get you all caught up on any recent developments.
