Countdown to Asia

Hi all: chalk this brief entry up to my excitement to depart for South Asia...no other motive...no other excuse...school ended for the summer on Tuesday with little fanfare...teachers and students eagerly exiting the building...some destined for the halls of academia as freshman this fall while others left no clue as to their destination other than a rye smile and a discernible briskness of step.

My first two days of summer vacation allowed me to finish--at last--Silas Marner and I instantly felt the need to order three other Eliot novels to accompany me to Singapore. Other than that...navigated the crowded Point Pleasant boardwalk last night with three of my beautiful nieces and my sister Karin. I watched as they happily made the rounds of the kiddie rides and devoured with wide smiles some tasty ice cream to end the night...
