Back in the States

We’re back and still reeling from the weekend, so even though I have pictures and memories to post, those will have to wait for later — maybe sometime during tomorrow’s predicted giant snow storm.
Until then, I found a pretty interesting article on Digg. The original source is down from too many hits, but this excerpt is pretty illuminating…
