Paris, Jan. 25, 2005

Dear Readers,

As you can imagine, it's been a busy but exciting week standing in for Jonathan over at http://cainer.com and in the Daily Mail, Sydney Daily Telegraph and the Melbourne Herald-Sun. It's a lot of fun writing daily horoscopes and it's a lot easier than I ever imagined. Of course (at this point) I only do spells of a week or two -- I really have to hand it to writers who go throughout the year, over the decades. Jonathan writes more horoscopes in a year and an half than I've written in a decade of doing my column.

Blogging will be light for a few days, but when I've succeeded at reorganizing my schedule once again, I'll have a few more ideas about what's happening in the world.

Thanks to everyone who sent in your truly excellent interpretations of the inauguration photo.
