aaaahhhhhhhh....

breathe in....
....breathe out.....

that is the sound of sara actually breathing again because she is done with those two 19 page papers. on time. sent in. out of mind.

i apologize to those of you with whom i usually converse--i haven't been around much lately.

now, to get ready for a nine day vacation--to a conference in calgary and then to see my oldest sister and her family in vancouver.

hooray!

i'm sure pictures and stories will follow. in ten days.
