There's no place like home

I’m back. And, during my two weeks abroad, I made two salient if somewhat random observations.

1. The effortlessness with which European women drape scarves around their necks and shoulders leaves all my efforts looking like a Boy Scout’s clumsy attempt at a knot-tying merit badge.
2. When looking for ways to pass the time in public, it is always fun to play the “Is she a dyke or simply Dutch” game while watching the parade of short, spiky-haired middle aged women walk by.

Hope your last two weeks were equally eventful. And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
