August. Already.

Morning call from Ghana. The kids are doing good. Apparently I was wrong about the emperor scorpions.

Elderly man bagging groceries just greeted me like an old friend: "I haven't seen you since 1944!" (I've never met him before, of course.)

And on that note, I'm heading for home...

I'm wondering what the top costume will be this Halloween: Zombie Winehouse or Casey Anthony?

My two oldest children have made it safely to Amsterdam. Then they head to Ghana. And I figure out how to not hold my breath for five months

Morning music: Johnny Cash "Ain't No Grave" ping.fm/aRbPR

Drowning my sorrows in pie. Don't judge me.

Is on the phone. It's going to be this way all day. Literally. All good conversations but I'm gonna have cauliflower ear by the end of it.

And I said to myself "I know, I'll set up a Wiki for the office. It shouldn't take too long." Three hours later... *sobs quietly*
