Vacation Over

Yesterday we rested. Today it's back to the grind. In a few hours I board a plane for my beloved Williamstown, Massachusetts where I'll spend a few days doing freelance work for Quest for College (a new nonprofit geared toward providing tools to help underpriviliged and underresourced kids become equipped with the terms and concepts needed to ensure access to higher education) and the North Charles Street Design Organization (a strategic marketing firm specializing in higher education). For the former I will be meeting with colleagues to discuss potential funding sources; for the latter I will be meeting with my old colleagues at the Williams College admission department about new publications for the upcoming recruitment cycle.

Both of these projects are near to my heart, but both requires a far different parts of my brain than do writing and making books. Got to shake off the rust, for a few days at least.

Robbi, on the other hand, is turning to the project of preparing for her upcoming teaching gig at Washington College. This time she's teaching printmaking, something she loves but has not been able to do for a long time due to lack of access to equipment.

Although it was 63 degrees here last night, it seems to be a bit chillier in Williamstown. I have taken my heretofore unused Carhart jacket from its peg in the stairwell and am eagerly bracing for the cold.

No pictures today. How about another one of Jake, who is always fun to look at?

I love my dog, but I've always had a soft spot for Bostons.
