Apologies...

... are just about all I have the time for today, Bush. It's tough to get these entries in with everything else that's going on. Breakfast this morning at the "Kiosk," crowded with a dozen wonderful ex-pats, all much engaged in the joy of life in San Miguel: artists, writers--creative people of all kinds. Good conversation, great passion. The downside--at least for you, Bush--is that there's not much sympathy for you or what you're doing in the world out there. Still, not having read a newspaper or seen a news broadcast in several days now, I have no idea what kind of mischief you've been making. I'll catch up with you in a couple more days. Until then, be well. And try not to do too much in the way of harm. Okay?
