We're B-a-a-c-k!

Well, here's the shaky video I usually return with! Hub kept telling me to put away my "toy". Men get embarrassed over the silliest things. He kept griping, "You look like a tourist!" "I am a tourist," I'd reply.

Oh well, we had a great time anyway. It was surprising how quickly we had gotten out of quick trip form! Things we forgot to do and things we tried to do until we remembered ole Bacchus wasn't with us. We're still getting used to it.

When home we browsed the stack of papers and collectively groaned while wondering just what this country is coming to. It has made me do a bit of soul searching as to whether or not I should take this blog in a different direction. I've been doing what I do so long, five years, I'm not sure I can do anything else!

I do get tired of complaining all the time and it seems I do little else. Maybe it's just my nature and I should stick with it. I do want to make a few minor changes. A new avatar maybe. The name will remain but I thought a picture of Bacchus that reflects what he thought of his treatment and I think of the news these days might be fun.

Vote on that one if you wouldn't mind! On the sidebar.

I'll no doubt be back at it tomorrow. I've a lot on my mind after having read those papers! Sheesh! Next month can't come too soon when we have a real trip planned! I'll probably suffer from withdrawal!

Glad you're back. I like your current avator but would enjoy seeing more Bacchus pictures.

Go through your pictues looking for facial expressions he made that would tell us how Bacchus would feel about whatever you're writing about.

You could also put a picture gadget on the sidebar and change the picture and caption often.

I never thought I could lose my passion for politics but this summer has cured my addiction. I see and read as little of it as possible. It's so nice to get up not facing negative feelings every day. Yuck. It took me a while to come up with a new focus for my blog and a new passion to replace politics. Leave it to me to pick another passion no one wants to hear about.

Linda, I have a picture gadget. It's the Flicker badge and is full of Bacchus's pictures. Just click on it! It's been there forever and I keep adding photos.

Glad you had a good trip. By the way, my comments are showing up, now. I just blame Blogger whenever anything goes wrong, and it usually rights itself. Go figure!
