mild persistent panic

as 2007 comes to an end: everyone seems to agree that iraq is a mess; hillary might be the next president; movies: no country for old men, sunshine; sean’s in virginia beach. sean bought a house. michelle is still missing. mom’s in iowa. dad’s in arlington. dad decided to give up flying. it’s been a year since pat’s plane crash and she’s still rattled; i’m taking more (better?) pictures; bicycled over 1000 miles in 2007, including 50 at hotter than hell; ice storm in december left us without power for a day and a half. tammee and i both carrying first-gen iphone.
