Back from the Barron Canyon

The Prof and I have just spent a week being Canadian. We went on a portage trip in Algonquin Park with my parents and my closest friend from childhood. We went through the Barron Canyon where we had a week full of rain and sun, blue herons, big winds, a daring rescue, marshmallows and campfires.

I miss this country.

My other news is that as of today, I'm going to switch to telling stories about the progress of the book. It's with the publishers now, as I mentioned, so hopefully I'll have a lot to say. The other reason for sticking to the book story is that our story seems to have taken some twists and turns and -- I guess I can say -- might end up with a bit of a surprise ending. Or at least ... an unexpected one. I don't want to spoil it!
