Well, I'm all packed and ready to go, leaving within the hour. I decided to go with Montaigne as the alternate reading material. Sixteenth century French essays about random topics seem a good balance to quirky British detective stories. I know you were all dying to know the final decision.
I don't know if I'll be updating this much while I'm gone. It depends on internet access (and how actively I flee technology while on vacation). Also, Julie and I have a travel blog (julieandmary.blogspot.com) which, if anything, will be updated. So you can always check there.
Okay, back in a month. :)

This week I give God a cheer for:
parchment paper, chalkboard paint, free museum weekends, public transportation, online cultural resources, free apps to help you learn non-roman scripts, science experiments, cast iron dutch ovens, cast iron dutch oven lids which double as a skillets, power drills, gallery walls, taco nights with friends, vegetarian cookbooks, apples on sale, the way flowers brighten a room, new curtains, globes, Friday night outings, engineering paper, movie-makers not destroying my favorite book, movie-makers creating something beautiful based on my favorite book, theater pubs, Gutenberg, sunny-yet-freezing weather, new dishtowels, hand-thrown pottery, the golden ratio, secondhand stores, stained glass, and the word "kerfuffle," among other things.
