The blog has been silent for several days. Cindy (now back from Japan) and I have been on the road. The vacation this summer consisted of a trip to Vancouver, BC. It is really a great place to visit (especially since they are already into preparation for the 2010 Olympics), but the real motivation was to pick up our youngest daughter at the conclusion of her cross-country bike trip. The tradition, if going east to west, is to dip your back tire in the Atlantic and then your front tire in the Pacific.
It was a great accomplishment for all participants and supported a great cause – Habitat for Humanity.
I spent a lot of time in the car, but read several books that I will comment on here in the days to come. I would have spent some time during the trip, but we camped and most locations had a single Internet connection in the office. I can’t think with people looking over my shoulder waiting for their turn at email.
