Recommencement

Boy, has it been awhile! This may have been the longest hiatus I ever took from blogging, on account of my hectic peak end-of-year work season and, afterwards, over a month's worth of unforgettable vacations, the pictures and stories from which I can't wait to share with you.

I hope that you'll also bear with me as I transition back into blogging. It's not going to be the same as before--I'm not the same person I was before--and, inevitably, our interests change as we grow. I'll still blog about books, but there might be less frequent posts, fewer book reviews, and more posts about global/social issues that get me thinking. My travels in early 2013 have also awakened the travel bug in me, so with any luck, you'll get a fair number of posts about my travels, if I can make everything come together. I hope you'll still be interested enough to follow me on the next chapter of my life. I can't wait!

A sneak peak at travel-related posts that are coming up...

First I went here:


And then I went here:


I realize that the second picture is hard to puzzle out the geographical location of, so here's another clue:


Can I hear a "TELL ME MORE"?!?!

    Is that Gandalf I spot? Okay,that embassy wins.

    ALSO! You went to Egypt? At least that's my guess with the pyramids.

    I live in envy of your travels. :-)
