many problems

Sorry I've been gone so long, I hope I haven't lost everyone. I had some things happening at work that just took all my energy for a while, then of course the holiday, then I had some computer problems, which I hope I have solved, then I had some problems with my Blogspot account.
I've got a lot of things to talk about which I will get to over the next week or so, but tonight I'm watching a NOVA special about the real story of Pocahontas. It seems the whole affair of saving John Smith's life was probably not a romantic thing, but a planned adoption ritual for diplomatic purposes. It makes sense, Indians were among the most skilled politicians on Earth.
I promise I'll be back soon.
