Update and vacations

I haven't posted much lately.  Mostly that's because there's not a lot to post about.  We're around and alive, hosted local Storyreading this past weekend, and might actually get to see HP:HBP this weekend.  I have stupid amounts of vacation to get rid of before the end of August.  As a result, I have not-full weeks of work for like 5 or 6 weeks in a row:

Week of July 26: full day off Friday to watch ice skating
Week of August 2: half day off Friday to get useful things done in the AM
Week of August 9: full day off Friday to spend vacation time
Week of August 16: full day off Friday to spend vacation time; be home while tree work gets done
Week of August 23: half day off Friday
Week of August 30: full day off Friday, 'cuz that's September and my department is forcing me to take it off
Week of September 6: full day off Monday, 'cuz that's Labor Day

Wow.  7 weeks in a row.  I'm going to be very spoiled once September really hits.
