Today I wore shorts. It is the sixth of January and we had all the windows open. And it was pleasant.
These are strange days, and it seems like everything has the sheen of weird on it. I have been considering writing letters to friends that have not heard from me in months, or years. I haven’t, though, because I’m not sure what I would say. “Hello.” or “What have you been up to lately?” seems to pale in comparison to the kinds of things I should be saying, like “A good friend of mine just died.” or “Have you listened to the radio or watched the news lately?” or even “Many days, the weather and the way I feel make me think something is wrong.”
Diana is very sick. I think she might have the flu. It is in that unfortunate phase where I can’t do anything but get her more juice and hope for the best. The daily passage of the extraordinary and the mundane seem out of balance over the last several months, and while I have never known what it all means, I have at least thought about it, and worried.

I really enjoy reading your blog, it always has great insight. But I am very frustrated with the media’s lack of questions to the presidential candidates about global warming. Now that it is down to just a few candidates I would think that this would be an issue.
Live Earth just picked up this topic and put out an article ( http://www.liveearth.org/news.php ) live earth is also asking why the presidential candidates are not being solicited for their stance on the issue of the climate change. I just saw a poll on http://www.EarthLab.com that says people care a lot about what their next leader thinks of global warming. Does anyone know of another poll or other results about this subject?
Here is the page where I saw the EarthLab poll: http://www.earthlab.com/life.aspx. This is a pretty legit website; they are endorsed by Al Gore and the alliance for climate protection and they have a carbon footprint calculator. Does anyone have a strong opinion about this like I do? No matter what your political affiliation is or who you vote for this is an important issue for our environment, our economy and for homeland security.
