lagilmanHome again, home again. Many thanks to the intrepid team of Assistant Feline Keepers, who did such wonderful work I was only greeted with an hour of OMG YOU LEFT US! wailing. Usually it goes on for several hours/all evening.
So. Vacation. In a quick roundup:
22 acres of GREENERY! (plus a spring-fed, frog-filled pond). Huge house filled with books. No t.v. No cell phone coverage. Limited internet connectivity. Frogs and a gaziillion fireflies makin' whoopie in the dusk (not together). 8 hours of sleep every night. Food -- OMG the FOOD! (Although I passed on the chance to eat antelope last night in favor of a slab of Angus.) The Juilliard String Quartet performing Hayden. Antiquing. A brand new dance troupe from Taiwan with a world premiere piece @ Jacob's Pillow (and a display of Jules Feiffer's 'dance' cartoons, which was delightful). Thunderstorms! A flock of wild turkeys! Power outages! Delightful public gardens! Frogs! Shopping! Chocolate tastings! Rabbits underfoot! Wine! More fabulous food! And, of course, the usual "people in a house together tension-blowup-apology" cycle, of which there were at least two and possibly three.
And did I mention frogs?
And now I am home, and deadlines and client e-mails stare me balefully in the eye. Dare I ignore them for one more day? I dare!
