I haven’t been on an airplane in eight weeks. It’s been a wonderful chance to stick to a more normal schedule — less catching-up-before-I-leave and digging-out-from-what-piled-up.

Sticking around has meant more time to bake with my little ones, play games with the middle ones, and hang out with the big ones. It’s been really good.

Tonight I’m off to Japan, and hoping for a really good trip. Posting to the blog will probably be light for the next week, although I’ve already got a backlog of items and ideas… well, that much more to look forward to, I guess.
