Hello, friends.
Helloooo... hellooo... helloooo.....

I don't know if any of you are out there since I dropped this puppy like a hot potato a month ago.
The thing is, I was going on the road and figured I'd do these post-cardy posts along the way.
So, no use signing off for a month.
Right?

Left, as the Big Friendly Giant would say.

I have been rather happily untethered from my computer, my cell phone won't hold a charge
and my hiking boots are seriously broken in.
I've seen moose, elk, deer, fox, pronghorn antelope, marmot, osprey, bald eagles and red tail hawks.
I've seen a lot of stars.

I've listened to Harry Potter, Roald Dahl and David Sedaris in the car.
I've read some Mary Pipher, two novels and quite a few articles in Vanity Fair.

I've slept rather well.

In the midst of all this goodness, I have worked some, too.
I'm writing something new and revising something old.
I've attended to numerous tasks for this fall -- setting up readings and events for All the World,
planning my next class, thinking about a new and improved web site.
I've corresponded with some folks I ought to be corresponding with.

But I haven't blogged.
Or read blogs.

I've missed you all and am taking a little time in the next couple of days to get back up to speed.
Stay tuned for various tid-bits and updates and even a few early reviews of my upcoming book.

And, in the meantime, happy summer to you all.
Step outside and check out the stars.
They're pretty awesome...
