and it is still June.....

Dear Blog:

Obviously I haven’t fed you in sometime. Very sorry – I’ve been away and away and away.

Travel distorts time. Extensive travel distorts time extensively. I’ve been on and off airplanes at a record rate since early April. Approximately 36 landings and takeoffs according to my notes on the back of a badly wrinkled boarding pass.

This is the main reason, Clermont, that I have abandoned you.

In June – I was in Uruguay and came home

In June – I was in Boston and came home

In June – I was in Philadelphia and came home

In June – I was in Washington and came home

In June – I have been writing and writing and writing reports for work

In June – there has been swine flu, decent baseball, Wimbledon tennis, important health reform discussions, riots in Tehran and now Michael Jackson has gone and died.

And it is still June. I won't leave you for so long this time. Summer is just ahead.
