Hello, blogosphere!

I'm leaving tomorrow and will return next Monday (that's 8 days people, can you survive that long?).  During this period, I will be spending time in Brussels, Paris, and Nice.  It should be pretty fantastic!

Essentially, this is a post to tell you I won't be posting for a week.  Maybe I'm thinking too highly of myself to think that anyone checks this more than once every other week, but it's ok.  Also, I think I FINALLY figured out my phone situation!!!  At the very least, I am now able to send and receive texts domestically!  Thank goodness.  It was getting difficult there, and now if I get lost in Paris I can find my group the old-fashioned way :)

I was going to insert a picture of the cob here to showcase how awesome he is, but it's being too slow.  I don't want to wait another ten minutes, so you'll all have to wait.

My recent train jam has been "Big Red Machine" by Justin Vernon and Aaron Dessner.  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaIx2kBC8_A) Check it out...it's a stunning piece of work.  I do love me some melancholy train jams.  There's something so wonderful about a painfully sad song while you're rolling through the Swiss countryside in full view of the lake and rolling green and vineyards and all.  It's so wonderful it makes you ache, you know?
