I miss the stars, and Lillian misses the coyotes, so I've just decided to inaugerate a 2-year plan to heal up my joints in the hottub enough to move back to Death Valley with my canine and feline familiars, before we die in this moldering, deep south swampland. We'll be home by Venus Transit 2012. We should all live that long if I can continue to drop the extra weight on my ankles and knees...25 pounds gone since last summer.
