On vacation

It is that time of year again, in which I disappear for a while to get my head together, engage in intensive relaxation, and catch up on my reading. Don't expect to see much of me on-line for the next three weeks.

I was going to post a book review tonight, since otherwise it's unlikely that I'll post any in the month of October, but I just ran out of steam. The steam that I had went to talking to friends, where I won't get much chance for a while. Since I lost all of last week sick with gastroenteritis, I think I'm going to give myself a free pass for this month on the review front. Regular reviews will resume once I get back from vacation. (Contrary to how it may appear, I have no intention of letting them slowly trickle off to nothing, nor have I stopped reading. I have three books finished so far this month and waiting for me to review. I just badly need a vacation and then better time allocation.)

What with illness and with all of the work stress lately, I didn't do as good of a job this year of shutting everything down and getting everything into a good state before vacation. Apologies for the loose ends left sitting around, although I think everything will survive. I shall return refreshed, well-read, and with many more book reviews and photographs in hand.

See you all in about three weeks!
