I’m such an artist wanna-be. I’m desperate to find something, anything, which would justify buying “these jewel cases”:http://www.jewelboxing.com/. Of all the times I needed a band!

. . . and take a vacation! This is what should have been through the looking glass.

Anyway, it sounds like a cool bed and breakfast. Think they have an opium room? Oh, so it’s not that part of the book . . .

Hey, Everybody!

Chris encouraged me to set up a blog and I kind of went, “Hum.” Then I get the Anthropology News yesterday, and they’re encouraging anthropologists to set up blogs, just to put our voices out there. And I thought, “Oh.” But since they had a link to a free site I decided to check it out, and gave in and Ethnograblog was created. And there was much rejoicing (or something).

My motto is: Expect Lameness! (I do enjoy saying “Ethnograblog” though.)

I just (re)discovered that a flight to Barcelona from San Diego would take 14 hours. The flight back from Milan would take 16, and neither is counting the extra time due to security, check-in, and delays. Even the 7-hour flight to Hawaii was a challenge for Ben. Luckily, the Berkeley Parents Network has a really informative page on “surviving long flights with small children”:http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/going/long-flights.html.

Look! It’s an online version of Twenty Questions. You come up with the object and the computer guesses. It’s fun!
