No blogs.

The following is a list of reasons I haven't been blogging lately (because I'm sure you want to know):

* Bowling. Wednesday nights. As often as we can. Because I finally found a sport I love.
* Three consecutive days of weddings, one for set-up, one for actual wedding (as a coordinator), and another for actual wedding (as attendee). This meant lots of flowers, lots of busyness, lots of dancing, lots of ordering people around. At which those who know me will smile. Deservedly so.
* Visiting the Lady Washington with siblings and friends. That was a so-so experience, but it led to more entertaining things like:
* Lunch in the Capitol Park. Complete with our own serenader who sat on a bench and played the flute, and a pair of backpackers who wandered through with a cat strapped to one of their frames.
* Also shopping. Not remarkable usually, but in this instance there were six kids (between the ages of 14 and 26) attached to the apron strings of a 42 year-old mother who swore she'd pretend to be a 42 year-old single person if we didn't behave. We manged, though it was a close thing between the near juggling-of-mangoes and the trying on of sunglasses and the lusting over all things chocolate. Though the mother was involved in that last.
* Also tree climbing. Lots of it, followed by general woods-meandering under summer-saturated canopies of sunlit green and bright red cherries. Magic. We found deer "nests" and flying squirrel nests and old trees that probably had owls in them, and huckleberries and cool rocks.
* Also sunset-watching. In a round grove of firs and vine maples and blackberries in the middle of a large field.
* I've been enjoying the new Vice Presidential Nomination.
* I've been sketching.
* I've been launching a boat. This afternoon in fact.

So that's why no blogs.
Oh, and next week I go to Disneyland so there will be more no blogs for a while. And then hopefully there will be more blogs.
