So guys. In the last several weeks I have clambered over a 12-foot wall, tasted sherry, swum lengths in a pool after a 5-year absence, survived my dragonboat team's fitness test, baked bacon chocolate chip cookies, made a mean pseudo-jambalaya, and learned I'm moving back to Europe in July.

Good times. Now I'm going to enter hermit mode as I get into the nitty gritty of writing my thesis.
