Vacation

Zach and I returned this morning (on a much too early flight) from our East Coast swing.

It was a great trip for us, although I realize it would not have been for most people: 9 days, 4 cities, and lots of plans, including a high-school reunion, two NYC get-togethers, three trips to the theater, and several appointments in the mix.

I just did a rough count and realized that we stayed, broke bread, shared a drink or a meal, or otherwise meaningfully connected (or re-connected) with more than 100 different people on this trip.

That figure might make some people's heads explode. But for me at least, it was an incredible tonic.

We didn't get to see everyone we'd hoped to, and we had less time than we'd have liked with most people. Still, it was a soul-feeding, gratitude-inducing trip.

Thanks to all who put us up (and put up with us!), braved the rain, made the drive, and otherwise went out of their way to spend time with us on this visit. We love you, and we miss you!
