and we shed what was left of our summer skin

I spent the last two weeks of August on vacation — one week in Duck, North Carolina with my wife’s family (see above) and one week (more or less) with my brother and his girlfriend, who I only get to see once or twice a year due to their overseas location. So here’s a quick rundown of the last two weeks of August:

Obama made a safe, sensible and intelligent choice, while McCain may very well have committed political suicide. The Democratic National Convention featured several game changing speeches, while the RNC suffered a rain delay and a power outage. Science continued to prove that climate change is a bigger disaster than most will admit, while Republicans stubbornly denied its existence. Google took another step toward world domination and Apple (potentially) pissed off a bunch of people who just bought iPods. DC United muddled through mediocrity, while the US National Team continued its inevitable march to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
