Vacation Report

I'm back from my sojourn to Idaho and Washington--just in cas you missed me. Not that you did since I am invisible this summer.

In addition to getting lots of sleep and meeting countless members of will's extended family, I did the following:

-sailing
-sea kayaking on a lake
-decided that I must get a dog soon (will's parents have a springer spaniel who is the best dog in the world; i wanted to kidnap him)
-got into an argument with will's uncle (who I had just met) because he wouldn't accept my assertion that teaching grammar is an impediment to teaching writing (he's a geology professor, by the way)
-ate huckleberries, which I'd never had before
-wished huckleberries grew in utah
-bought and read the new harry potter--finally, it's done.
-tried to swim in a lake
-watched the new HP and Ratatouille for the second time
-tripped while trail running giving myself a bad case of road burn (worse, perhaps, than the treadmill incident


It's an exciting life I lead. Truly.
