Spring break, April. We spent a week on Maui at the Fairmont Kea Lani Resort in a two-bedroom villa (with its own plunge pool on the private patio), just vacated by David Hasselhoff. We could still smell his cigar smoke. We figured, his kids were probably on spring break, too. We enjoyed the plunge pool, enjoyed the beach, enjoyed the pool, and enjoyed the company of friends.
But the problem with being on Maui is, it made me relax and forget how to do a lot of things. Alas, blogging went by the wayside.
And what a time to stop blogging! One quick note about the Republicans last week, but for the rest of April and May, I let the pundits and the comedians do the commentary.
However, today I have to try to jump in again. Tom DeLay has left office, prompting a lawsuit mania as the Democrats try to prevent him from one last evasion. The #2 Al-Queda guy in Iraq is dead, which has to strike a mighty blow to the terrorists. Tim Eyman failed to get enough signatures for his initiative to neutralize the gay rights bill that took affect this week in the state of Washington. The World Cup has started, but that really just means a little more variety in the sports coverage at night. Even the spousal unit, an expatriat Ozzie, doesn't pull for Australia in it. The Republicans, who are starting to remind me a bit of Nero fiddling while Rome was burning, wanted to waste time in the Senate debating Constitutional rights banning gay marriage (defeated quickly), flag burning (not that anyone does that any more in this country!) and the ever popular "death tax."
And we went to Disneyland to celebrate an offspring's 10th birthday, and experience the magic of the 50th Anniversary. I will try to find time to blog that trip, but for now let me say, it was fabulous.
Now school is almost out for us, the next two weeks packed with activities, and I've forgotten what it's like to get a good night's sleep....
