I had a wonderful time exploring Ireland and Scotland, and will post a few pictures here (and lots of Facebook) when I have a chance.

This week I'm pretty busy attending a conference in the Netherlands. The bus leaves our hotel for the conference each morning at 7:30 AM, and returns around 10 PM. So don't expect too much here!

I'm not sure about internet access for the next several days, but I'll post when I can. I'm having a great time so far!

headed out!

I'm leaving this afternoon for two weeks in Europe. I'll explore Dublin, Edinburgh, and Amsterdam, among other places. I'm excited!

I'll be on my own for the first week, and attending a conference for the second week.

I should have internet in a few places, but it won't be my priority.

Wish me luck!

blackberries fresh off the bush--mmmm!
I saw some sort of mountain lion or maybe coyote while picking these. YIKES! It ran away before I could tell (or take a picture).

fun weekend

If time is inescapable in its inexorable sequentiality, that still does not solve the fundamental problem of historical causation; it only makes it possible to contemplate it.

And how was your weekend?

The world is a zesty place, but it’s easy to forget that when you’re surrounded by clusters of non-descript cul-de-sacs and uninspired strip malls.

Blueberries are one of my favorite parts of summer. Straight off the bush--YUM! I'll be enjoying these for the rest of the week, and working hard on my writing. Happy Independence Day!
