First, I want to apologize to everyone for not posting or answering comments this week. I just haven’t been able to summon up the energy to write. The short version is that I haven’t been sleeping, which messes me up big time and threatens to make me cycle, but with the help of drugs I’ve finally been getting a little rest this last 2 days. Once I get in the rhythm again, I should be able to sleep naturally. I hope.

Today Tony and I are off to Moscow, Idaho for Vandal Weekend, an orientation session for the University of Idaho. This is our first trip down there — he was so enthusiastic about their engineering program that he applied and accepted an offer without ever setting foot on campus. He’s really excited about this weekend. He’ll be meeting his adviser, registering for classes, signing up for housing and staying over 2 nights in the dorms. I’m looking forward to a campus tour, and 2 days of lounging at the Best Western. I can really use the mini-vacation right now. The hotel has interwebz, so I’ll be checking in occasionally.

See ya later.
