No no no, not a vacation from posting – although I did unintentionally take one of those, and I’m sorry! I’m going to stick to a schedule from now on – Wednesdays and Sundays will be my posting days, with an occasional Roundup here and there. And since today is a Sunday…
WE HAVE A POST!
Now, I really am on vacation – back in my home state of New York, in the lovely Adirondack Mountains. Bryan’s grandparents have a cabin here, and I’ve been coming up here with Bryan and his family for about six years now. We’re close to Lake George, which is a very touristy place, but far enough away from all the busy-ness of the town, which is wonderful.
I mean, come on, look at this beautiful view of the Hudson River. Absolutely wonderful. I’ve been looking forward to this all summer – and I am incredibly happy to be here. All my classes are done for the summer, work has entered a lull (I taught a ridiculous amount of page layout and design workshops during the early part of last week, and that’s it for my teaching schedule for the rest of the summer), and it’s the perfect part of the summer to take a vacation. So here I am, parked at the kitchen table in my pajamas and my Escher-inspired Doctor Who sweatshirt, with my laptop, writing this post while listening to the birds tweet outside.
