Don't know if anyone reads this anymore, but...
I'm back after a four month hiatus. The four months included a trip to Siberia to visit daughter #2 (Anya) as well as a side trip to Germany to visit my brother Jim and his family; then 3 months of my busy work season, teaching Shakespeare and running a Shakespeare summer camp for 135 kids and teens. The last show of the season was Saturday, and now I'm floating free for a month! The plan: get house in order and spend inordinate amounts of time with my semi-neglected teenage daughter. We started yesterday and did a round of shopping for the house, hiking the woods, making dinner for her grandmother ( my mom) and generally just enjoying each other's company.
Oh, and did I fail to mention her sister Anya (my other daughter, by all accounts) is scheduled to move here in late fall? Yes. Really. She even has her passport finally!
