Voting in California with expectations for good outcomes is often like rooting for Cal to go to the Rose Bowl - you better not expect to end up happy. But of course, it doesn't always HAVE to be that way, and this year more...
I have been off my blogging game as of late, having spent two weeks out of town on business and being a little dizzy. But I plan to get back into a rhythm for the next few weeks. Real quickly, though, a few...
