Happy 2004, everyone. My folks were here for a week around Christmas, which accounts for the lack of blogging. Erica and I were looking forward to it, and we all had a wonderful time, spending time visiting relatives, driving to La Conner, seeing the Frye museum.
Things are pretty much back to normal now. Erica is vacuuming up the last of the needles from the tree, which is outside waiting for clean green day. The dog is lying at my feet -- she is exhausted from playing in the snow yesterday in the backyard. 2003 seemed to go by very quickly, but looking back it was crowded with an immense number of activities. May 2004 be the same.
UPDATE: Omar at Iraq The Model has a moving account of why he will never forget 2003.
