I’ve been banging my skull against so many brick walls this past week trying to come up with something worth saying here, and saying it in some worthwhile manner. Nothing comes. So I will simply wish everyone a happy holiday weekend (and hoping you somehow figured out how to get Monday off as well). We’re off to Hot Springs Saturday morning and then on to Little Rock for a short get-away before I begin teaching again. Photos and “travel post” (at least) to follow. My offline writing is going really well; hopefully I’ll be finished with this short book before the fall term starts, if I can maintain the momentum from the past couple of weeks.

Today is my niece Melissa’s birthday. Happy 20th! I love you.

Peace and blueberry muffins to you all.
