One week of work after my trip. Needless to say I am tired. I need to shop for groceries, go to the bank, swing by Tully's for some coffee and also make my way to the Wooden Boats Festival down on Lake Union when the weather clears. We're socked in right now. I had perfect weather at home so I can't complain about a little drizzle and fog here. Joey Jo Jo says it is the onshore flow.

What I can comment on is how much I appreciate all those at home and here who made my little vacation so pleasant. Thank you Lee for tending my plant and providing the important drop-off and pick-up at the airport. Thank you Becca and Abby for your generous hospitality that went beyond family ties. Mark, Annie and Clara came through in a big way with the use of Clara's car. Thank you Tracy for your company and your use of transportation to Boothbay Harbor. I knew you'd like the resort. And Ron and Jess, thank you for your generous hospitality at the resort. You went above and beyond what I hadn't even expected. It was great to see the rest of you, of course. Please don't feel slighted if I don't acknowledge you in this entry. Time now to figure out the school thing and to join the running club. I still need new shoes. I'm still searching for a girl too...
