Hey there, all. Sorry for the slowdown in regular posting, but between the revelation of my foot injury (as floridly recounted in the last post), the usual flurry of activity at the start of the summer, some unexpected developments at my office (a colleague just gave his notice, which means I’m inheriting his workload … hopefully temporarily) and the ongoing image-hosting problem here on this blog, I just haven’t had a moment.
This all said, I’m afraid you’re going to have to probably wait even longer, as my family and I are just about to depart for a ten-day vacation. Honestly, the timing isn’t ideal – between my foot injury and mounting responsibilities at work – but plans were made months ago, etc. etc.
A good friend of ours rented a villa in Italy and had originally planned to host her entire family. As it happened, she couldn’t bring that plan to fruition, for whatever reason, so she reached out to my wife to extend an offer for us (me, the wife, the kids) to come stay for a spell. It sounded (and may very well be) too good to be true, but we’re taking her up on it. Watch this space.
We’re stopping in Rome for a bit first, which will invariably not do my ailing foot any good, but … Hell, I’ve been walking around with broken bones in it for at least a year – what’s another week or two?
The day after we get back, I’m going back to my podiatrist to get (hopefully) fitted for …. the boot.
But first, Italy … which explains the image of Mario with a foot injury above. Thanks, Internet!
Everybody play nice while I'm gone. I'll be back.
