The Getaway

You all figured out pretty quickly that I wasn't updating the site this past weekend. It's true: after several weeks of frustrating circumstances -- car death being the most obvious example -- I needed time off. A few friends and I left town for a couple of days to outrun our problems.

It worked!

A few memories:

• Three girls, one bed.
• "That Pennsylvanian is driving erotically."
• Matching Twister shirts = lots of unanticipated attention.
• Running in the rain.
• Piggy-back ride up the escalator (scary!).

The only bad part of the trip was that it had to end.

I had hoped that some of the glow would rub off on my Monday so I could ease into the week. Instead, I found two dead bugs in my second cup of coffee after setting it down for only a moment. They were probably on a kamikaze mission to sabotage my day.

Too bad. I'm a hard egg to crack, and I'm determined that even this bill-paying, lesson-planning, exam-writing, grading-grading-grading day is going to be a good one.

How was your weekend?
