Don't let my silence fool you...

I've been traveling, oh yes I have. I have a number of adventures about which to write but, see, I haven't been able to afford to purchase a flickr account and I've reached the limit of what I can do there for free. Sure, I could upload them to a number of websites I maintain but then my anonymity would be compromised. That's not much of a fugue state, is it? Still, I feel pretty strongly that photographs of some sort, even my low-quality, shaky variety, should be included in any travel writing so updating will have to wait.

Possibly, maybe, I'll be able to get up to speed in the next week or two at which time I will be posting photos and descriptions of Macworth Island, Portland, Bug Light, Deering Pond, the Cactus Garden, a What To Do In Vegas post and some others that I've dreamed up on long car rides but have certainly forgotten in this long, long absence.

For now, though, I should mention that I am reading We Took To The Woods by Louise Dickinson Rich. On top of being an absolutely superb and engaging writer, she manages to make the isolation of Maine's North Woods enviable. I have been staying up late at night poring through the local library's copy (which I've renewed TWICE now) and am considering buying a copy so that I can add it to the collection of books I keep by my bedside and that I reread constantly. I highly recommend it, even for people who have never set foot in Maine (and who may not be able to find it on a map).
