static on the line

Honestly, this whole going-to-a-foreign-country-on-a-last- minute-whim thing is way more time consuming than you might think.

Or maybe it's exactly as time consuming as you'd think.

Either way, it hasn't left a whole lot of brain juice left over for eloquence, or even a daily update.

For those of you following along at home, sorry it's been so dull here on Blue Wail lately. I apply for my passport today, and that should be the end of the flurried activity for a few days, anyway. After which, I hope to get back to the in-depth coverage of what I ate for dinner and whether or not I cleaned the bathroom lately that you've come to expect.
