I'm Back!

Had a pleasant trip to Belgium for the holidays... now I'm back to the grind. Not a lot to report on: spent most of the time with my family, including a day hike in the Ardennes and visits to Waterloo battlefield and downtown Brussels. Belgium is pretty low-quality as far as Europe goes; it doesn't have the orderly cleanness of Holland nor the rural quaintness and urban pomp of France and England. Ah well, they still have good bread and good beer.
