Until Technology Triumphs (or at least is more available)

It's been a busy few weeks - not much in the way of reading (or Powell's diving, much to my dismay) and lots in the way of traveling and fulfilling obligations, some more pleasant than others. Since April we've had 4 weddings, 1 graduation, 2 required trips to see people (with one more coming up), a visit from other people (only one of note), and then I've had a few tournaments as well. All of these things by themselves or even a few would have made for a pleasant summer with trips on and off to keep things interesting but the timing has turned out to make me just feel a bit overwhelmed and exhausted (just what I want when going to start school again!).

Walden is still languishing in the thick carpeting snow of winter and our city traveler is stuck in Jerusalem as it changes hands over and over again. I am torn as to what recreational reading to take down to Champaign with me - I don't want a huge pile but a small, satisfying one, and the risk of the Powell's unknowns is that it's hard to say what the quality will be. So we shall see, I suppose. I am tired enough at the moment (and typing without my glasses, a delightfully blurry experience) that I feel rather resigned about posting and ought to mention that while my new apartment does have internet, I don't know when we'll figure out how to hook up to it (it looks like there's a 10 year old corporate router in the utility room). As such, dear readers, I must regretfully say that I am thinking of you often but may write only seldom.
