Home James, and don't spare the horses

We spent last Thursday cleaning like crazy! We left the place spic and span and smelling of lemon Pledge. One thing I know is that I will never want a solid black, shiny kitchen floor. It shows way more dirt than white ever could!

We had tickets on the last flight of the day and left the condo a little earlier than we needed to, but it turns out that if we had left much later, we probably would have missed our flight. As we were pulling away in the taxi, a motorcycle and two vans with flashing lights and sirens went speeding by. I commented to the driver that it was probably a couple politicians going to lunch, but it was the police going to close off Makati. The little drama/'coup' was just two blocks from where we were.

Turns out a couple fellows who were the object of a judicial hearing there in Makati because they led the take-over of a different hotel in 2002, wandered out of the courthouse and did it again! One brilliant fellow, Trillanes, ran for senate while in prison and won. He was they guy who, when there was an explosion at Glorietta Mall last month (a gas explosion, not a bomb) made the statement that he was sure that this was done by Gloria and her government to rally support and gain more power...

Anyway, we were almost slowed down by the latest act of the Philippine political comedy, which would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

We got to the airport in plenty of time, the flight was on time and we were thrilled to arrive home and be hugged by Caryl and Marylan and jumped on by the dogs!
