Sorry I've been away for the last week or so.  I had a friend visiting and I was doing what I recommend:  Enjoying summer!

I did some sightseeing in my own town.  I did lots of pleasure reading.  I walked and went kayaking.  I shopped.  And I ate good food.

I saw the wonderful movie "Despicable Me." Go see it.  You'll laugh until you cry.

You know what, I even did some Christmas shopping.
