End of Summer

The briefest of updates:

1. spent all summer in tanzania, more or less.
2. Josh did not get eaten by hippos or chimps.
3. No one was mowed down by elephants.
4. We spotted the elusive rock hyrax!
5. Was a work machine in between vacationing. Do not recommend. Please to do all vacationing after all the work is done.
6. Chumbe Island was all that it was cracked up to be.
7. Returned to Baltimore with happy dog, now packing up house with help of in-laws to move on Wednesday to Philadelphia.
8. Attempting to purge as much stuff as possible. Including hockey gear.
9. PhD is still a question mark.
10. Need more ideas for freezer foods that aren't lasagna, for friends with brand-new baby.
