Greetings~

I returned late last night from a wonderful week and a half away and am now “reentering,” with all the e-mail, laundry, unpacking and grocery replenishing which that entails!  The good news is—the vacation was worth it.  Mark and the boys and I had a great time at a family reunion in Maine, followed by two days of walking down “memory lane” in Cambridge, MA (where Mark and I met while in graduate school).  So, it was good to
