Been a long time

Welcome to this post - last month in review.

End of term - visit Colorado - get sick - niece born - return to UK - work on academic madness.

Visit to Colorado checklist:

• run out of time to pay for carbon offsets
• fall ill just about immediately
• watch movies with Evabella
• bear witness to the birth of Kellia
• ski once
• visit an eighth of the people i intend to; those i did visit for an eighth the frequency intended
• spend ridiculous amounts of money on things i sort of need
• pack more heavy stuff to bring to UK
• bask in the sunshine

return to UK checklist:

• try to speak German on the plane
• try to sleep on the plane
• hope that the waitstaff at all UK establishments have been faking this whole time and really DO want to take my order
• sleep for days
• try to reorient self to local time zone
• smell the flowers
• watch The Boat Race, scare locals because of loud cheering
• slowly realize that time seems to be speeding up, large scary assignment deadline looms
• attempt to organize self; give up and go have coffee

Photo illustration to come soon. Again - my apologies to all of you i didn't get to spend (more) time with in Colorado. I hope posting will become more regular again on this site now that i'm sort of functional again.
