Two More Sleeps

I am back again on the blog and only two more days before I leave for Europe for the next stage of my sabbatical. Lots to get done in that short time. I have been back now almost four weeks and it seems all I did was waste time. And time can easily be wasted. All the plans to do things around the house didn't get done (I can blame some of it on the weather, extremely hot the first week, and extremely wet the next three - not good for outside work). But the Protestant work ethic made me do a list of things to do while home, and not completing the list makes it seem as if time was wasted. But in some sense that's what holidays are for - a time to relax with no agenda and be refreshed. Still in the past few weeks, I did have dinner with friends, visited my parents, spent time with Amy, prepared for Europe and mowed the lawn between rain drops. The excitement is building for the trip. But not too much yet. Thanks to all who have read the blog, and your comments.
