2010...and I'm On the Road Again!

Good thing I love to travel, because my job requires it. Huge job perk: I can take my family with me on research trips and book tours that coincide with school breaks...though the older my children get, the busier they are with school, sports, extracurricular activities, and social lives, and the more reluctant they are to hit the road with Mom (and Dad...who then has to stay home and shuttle them around!).

Quick Update

It seems that everything but snow and blog entries has been piling up around here this month--laundry, bills, deadlines...

I just wanted to say a quick hello as I sip my morning coffee and curse the creature whose unearthly howls woke Mark and me from a sound sleep at 3:45 a.m. I can only imagine, here in the wilds of suburbia, what it might have been--a coyote?
