Home Again

Having eaten our way through Georgia over the past week and a half (the marching bit was done some time back), I'm home again and anxious to resume blogging. I'd hoped to blog a bit from the road, but poor computer connections, family visits, and merry-making interferred, if that's the right word.

Democracy Project's newest blogger, Chuck Chalberg, has been prolific and interesting, and I hope you've checked out his many postings. Ditto for the excellent work by Wilfred McClay, Brent Tantillo, and Laurie Morrow, all of whom continued to post as Christmas came and went.

Even Arthur Chrenkoff, one of the best bloggers around for my money, headed for the beach (something that's easier to do this time of year in Australia). As Arthur says, one of the things about going "on holiday" is that the rest of the world keeps moving, as it certainly has this past week -- literally in Southeast Asia. Peggy Noonan has some reasoned insights into how the tsunami casts the world in a different light. Appropriately, she turns to Ronald Reagan to better comprehend what has happened, and what it means. In the face of unimaginable disaster, we always turn to those who understand that clear vision is attained by knowing where to look, and what to ignore.

More soon.
