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.

This sounds quite wonderful. Even the grammar argument. I will have to have a detailed discussion with you about the huckleberries, which I ate as a child and even had a huckleberry pie for my birthday (I used to ask for birthday pie instead of cake). We collected them in a spot near our Idaho cabin. Also, want to discuss HP with you--roared through it just because I needed to know, you know? I'm still waiting for most of my kids to finish it so we can have a rollicking discush.
on HP, you should check out Slate's book club discussion about it. Funny, I thought. Yes, we must discuss.
I am glad you too are having such arguments, hopefully tiring out any and all who I might happen to meet. This issue came up in out book club--funny how everyone had advice on this issue yet no one as of yet has offered advice to the medical doctor or lawyer in our group.
