After waking up in Brisbane Australia, we are now settled in Van Buren, Arkansas, just across the Oklahoma border after 30 hours of travel, on our way to a beach house in Florida.

It’s good to have free wireless Internet, 100 television channels and an all-you-can eat each inclusive breakfast in a suite with a king-sized bed for $83.

Life’s a beach (that’s Sorenne, left, at Surfer’s Paradise on Australia’s Gold Coast).

I especially missed my favorite Comedy Central programs while overseas, so settled down to a new episode of the Colbert Report, only to find J. Patrick Boyle, president of the American Meat Institute, going mano-a-mano with Stephen Colbert and trying to answer the question, how does poop get into hamburger?
I’ll post the video as soon as it’s up at http://www.colbertnation.com/home.
