big mistake

Today we went out to the Great Barrier Reef. Saw amazing coral.... large, robust, beautiful... but not as many beautiful fish as we saw at St. John, US VI.

I am now sitting at the bar of our incredible lodge that overlooks the Pacific. There is a wonderful breeze, fine Australian Shiraz at half price, and free wifi. No worries, mate.

Except, I made a BIG MISTAKE and came across this article by Robert Reich, highly recommended if you want to get a little depressed:

"So much happening in D.C., so little to show for it"
Healthcare, global warming, Wall Street, jobs -- none of the government's proposed solutions add up to much

Great article. sad message. can't you people get this mess sorted out before we come home?

I better get another Shiraz while happy hour lasts.
