Wearing a Red Sox cap and reveling in the team’s World Series championship after an 86-year drought, Kerry saw a metaphor for his own White House bid.

“About a year ago, when things weren’t going so well in my campaign, somebody called a radio talk show and they said, thinking they were just cutting me right to the quick, they said ‘John Kerry won’t be the president until the Red Sox win.’ Well, we’re on our way.”

Gandalf

When Jason and I visited the Houston Museum of Natural Science a few weeks ago, we spent time in the Cockrell Butterfly Center. While there, Jason went off to find Gandalf, the resident lizard. The very, very huge lizard. My regular camera battery was dead that day (even though it was on the charger all night), so I had to photograph him with my cell phone. The picture doesn’t do him justice – he’s huge!

I’ve finally posted about the drama of my visit to New Orleans, and the photo that goes with it – visit Pixelog.

Always remember to select who you travel with very carefully.
