I've been doing a fair bit of writing for Londonist, and working like crazy. And yes, that's it. It seems that I went on holiday, but I can hardly remember that now, it seems so long ago.
But wait! How better to remember it than with pictures?

Oh, you'd be laughing too if you were having super good times with Alice.

I got to hang out at a gorgeous cottage, with a gorgeous baby...

and his equally gorgeous mommy. And you're crazy if you think we didn't have fabulous meals, delicious frosty cool beverages and many, many laughs.
Because we did.
And then I spent a week in Toronto...

and got to visit with these fun people, who I don't get to see often, but who I have known for a very, very long time. (Holy crap, I just realized I've known Wendy for 20 years. Madness!)

And I also saw these fun (and classy!) people, amongst many others.
It was a great trip, and I had a fantastic time. And although I've only been back for three weeks, I totally feel ready for another holdiay. I'm ill and stressed and tired. Sigh.
But at least I still have holiday time! Thank god for the UK, and their 20 holiday days per year. I don't know what I'd do with only 10.
