Note to readers: I’ve been spending the past few days settling in from my move… again. I’m done now, with the moving that is. I’m settling in, in the Newburyport, Massachusetts area, where I grew up, after a little over 19 years away. It’s good to be home.

Oceans of ink are being spilt as the nation (and the world) collectively pats itself on the back. It is fitting and proper that we do, of course, but Americans being Americans, we’ll manage to carry it too far in about 48 hours, I fear.
