    Back…

    We’re home. Not much more to say for now. Slept till almost noon, but feel confident I’m not far off local time now. Lime’s off to the hospital to pick up where she left off. There’s about twenty days of work left for her now, and then she’ll have a short holiday, at least...

    So Brief

    Having just arrived late Friday, I realize now it’s already Sunday, and Wednesday morning, we’re off to Montreal. This trip is turning out to be altogether too brief for me. Ah well.
