Nota Bene, as Election Year kicks into high gear:

If I am having or near a political discussion, and I need to excuse myself, don't take it personally. It's not that I'm bored by politics -- quite the contrary; I care too much, and even seemingly-innocent discussion can, sometimes, make me shake with rage or want to weep. (It usually is issues and even specific arguments that I get upset by, not candidates.) I reserve the right to say, "I'm sorry, I don't feel like discussing this anymore," and then leaving the rest of the people to their conversation.

Don't take it personally.

1 mile today; 6 miles total. Still in Tookland.

(Didn't keep track of miles when we were away -- which is a pity; the San Diego zoo would've accounted for many miles all by itself, I suspect!)
