Home for one more week. I really have lost touch with most of my high school friends, sad to say. They have their own lives at home, school, or in the military now. So, I still spend most of my time reading, hanging out with Shawn, and occasionally playing housewife. Going to Washington DC in a couple weeks to the CPAC convention (Conservative something or-other), where I get to see Dick Cheney, Zell Miller, David Horowitz, Ann Coulter......oh man, I'm excited. And a dork. Hardcore conservatives may be just as unreasonable and funny as hardcore liberals - I don't know that anything will ever be accomplished by hardcore partisanship. Still, it's good to know that in this world there do exist those who will stand up and scream until they're blue in the face about the principles many people feel are out-of-date and obsolete. Jess and I are going to enjoy ourselves.
