A little time has passed, but I'm excited to start posting again.
Since my last post, I have:
1) Gotten married
2) Moved from the city to the country
3) Changed jobs, and then went part-time
4) Travelled to Bora Bora, French Polynesia; Split, Hvar, & Dubrovnik, Croatia; Venice, Italy; and Banff & Salt Spring Island in Canada
5) Taken multiple trips to the UK: London, Edinburgh, Canterbury, the Orkneys, Mull, & Glasgow
I've also indulged my taste for the performing arts: dance, symphony, opera, plays, and concerts. I've read several marvelous books, plenty of entertaining ones, and a few I didn't like. I stopped subscribing to the Wall Street Journal and started the New York Times. (That was a really good change.)
