Back From Vacation

I meant to write this while I was on vacation so I could do this in snippets. Now I have a couple of big long adventures to talk about. And I've got to got to work. Argh.

Just to tide you over, here's a summary: Ray and I drove to Vermont for a wedding, drove back (8 hours each way!), I came home and worked for a couple of days, then I got on a plane to California where I saw my brother graduate from high school. Now I'm back, pooped from jet lag, and I have to do transcription work every day this week, so I hope my fingers don't fall off. Whenever I type for more than 30 hours a week, my fingers start tingling, and that's a bad sign.

I hope that will hold you until I get home this afternoon. Again, assuming my fingers haven't fallen off, I'll go more in detail.
