They Sure Like Badgers

Hello, everyone! It's nice to be back. Klake and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to beautiful Madison, Wisconsin. The zoo was excellent, with numerous fascinating and beautiful creatures to behold. Did you know that the happiest animal in any zoo is always an otter of some sort? Just look at them! If you spend five minutes watching any otter while it is awake, you will definately walk away with the impression that this particular animal has a lot of seratonin all up in his little brain. The otter in question in this case was a North American river otter.
Did you know that Wisconsin is yet another state where some legislators are wasting time and taxpayer money trying to pass a gay-hatin' constitutional amendment? Walking among the happy crowds, friendly vendors, and pretty music of the weekly farmers market surrounding the Wisconsin state capital, such sinister doings just don't seem possible.
When I arrived home Sunday evening, I found that my ukulele was waiting for me on my front doorstep in a trapezoidal box proportioned very much like the instrument it contained. Hooray! It's a pretty cool uke, with a dark, wood finish and guitar-style tuners. It's likely to be a busy week of cleaning the house and preparing to host RAGBRAI's "Team Sledgehammer" on Friday night, though, so I'll be lucky if I even get the thing tuned before the weekend. No matter, though: I'll get a chance to play around with it soon enough. Time means little to the friendly ukulele.
