Our camping trip at Long Point, followed by a night in Port Stanley: rain, a beautiful lightning storm, gorgeous sunny afternoons on the beach, trains and fine dining!
I’m hurrying to finish up an indexing deadline today, because tomorrow we are off on our camping trip!
I mentioned on Facebook that we are going with every car charger known to man, so hopefully the fact that the site doesn’t have an electrical outlet won’t be particularly bothersome. (I know, I know – electrical devices [...]

I have never had a dry spell in my life, mainly because I feed myself well, to the point of bursting. I wake up early and hear my morning voices leaping around in my head like jumping beans. I get out of bed to trap them before they escape.
