Vacation post

Or, should perhaps more aptly be titled "Post Written While Looking Out at the Ocean and Thinking Very Seriously About Turning the Computer Off." Anyway, we're on vacation, so my blogging frequency will be less-than-ideal for the immediate future. However, I will be tweeting about my vacation, if you happen to want to read annoying comments about how much fun I'm having at the beach. Tweets like "I'm looking for seashells," or "I'm sitting by the pool," or "I'm still sitting by the pool but now with a margarita," or "Practicing underwater headstands."

Which, by the way, is pretty much what happened today.

This vacation has been amazingly relaxing because it feels truly earned as I had a ton of work in the past couple weeks. But I'll certainly be excited to start writing more again once the vacation is over. The vacation being over, though, is a thought that sort of makes me want to cry, so enough for now.

In the meantime

For the first time in months I have a lot of work to do - can you even believe it? - and I haven't had time to finish the post concerning All The Puking, a sin, really, because it's a good story. So I thought that I'd post this picture before you guys started to think I'd abandoned this blog, taken in the rain forest area at the Baltimore Aquarium over Christmas break. It's my dad's favorite part of the aquarium, he told me, and when I asked him why that was, he said, "Because it's so peaceful and so exotic and so real." Um, ok. Cute pic, though.
