We are back, and a farewell.

We are back from a most excellent and relaxing vacation, save for the 9.5 mile hike Thursday, which was excellent, but not relaxing. :)

Rest in Peace, Luciano Pavarotti. He was my mother's favorite Opera singer, and she took me to see him once when he came to Boston. I am glad I got to see him, and perhaps this will be the impetus to listen to more Opera music, which I am sorely in need of doing.

I doubt I'm going to read back the skip=1.04e+04 entries you all left. I'm sure I'll hear what happened. I'll post a vacation report tomorrow.
