UNICEF has thought of a new way of trying to drum up financial aid for former child soldiers: commissioning a film showing the Smurfs getting bombed, with some getting killed. (The clip that’s linked above is not the whole film, which is a pity.) For child television, it’s quite graphic, and for those of us …
Yay! Huzzah! Yes! My ortho says that I can start riding my bike again – in limited doses. I’m to start with my mountain bike, which has a slightly higher riding position than my LeMond road bike. After a couple weeks of that, I can get back on my roadie – which is good, because …

Lots left to do: Pick up tuxedo. Finishing touches on present. Drive to New England. Finish speech. No rest for the weary…
