National holiday, something of a Down Under equivalent to July 4th.

Funny thing… I’ve been back in L.A. for almost two weeks, but I’m still mentally in Sydney.  I’m still reading the SMH and ABC, and at the moment I’ve got Nine‘s coverage of the ODI match between Oz and Sri Lanka on the TV while working.

I’m just not quite home yet.

The headlines are just brimming with juice, of course — Alito, DeLay,
Abramoff, lies over FISA, lies over Katrina, lies over Medicare D — so
I’ll get there eventually.

Still, during the break after Sri Lanka batted, there was a glimpse of a ceremony on the
field for a few hundred immigrants just receiving Australian
citizenship.  I suspect those are probably a few hundred very happy
people.

Between leaving half my brain in Oz and book frenzy, don’t expect a ton here for a few more days.
