A Road Less Travelled

 Now, as soon as I start trying to write down the highlights of last week in an effort to catch you up on all the stuff you haven’t been reading because I haven’t been writing it, I’m sure I will promptly forget most of the interesting events. Still, there are two things that stand out about last week.

 First, (chronologically speaking) Gabrielle and I started walking in the mornings. To our surprise, this effort actually ‘took’ and we walked four mornings last week. We only skipped the morning that Justice had hernia surgery, and I think you must admit we had sufficient reason.

 Second, on Friday James started his slightly-over-a-week long vacation on which we are doing no travelling. We are going on one overnight camping trip this week, but we don’t even have to leave the state. Or spend hours upon hours in the van. Or get up early the next morning to get back on the road.

 We are also running (or more precisely, driving) around the area to visit various museums and such fun places, to the extent that I will probably feel the need to crash after the vacation. I suppose that’s what a vacation is all about, but I can only take so much fun. Throw in some yard work and similar around the house projects, and a few time slots designated to play board games, and you have a pretty good picture of what this week will look like for me. (Plus walking with Gabrielle in the mornings, of course. Because we’re still following through on our plan to walk. How odd…)

  Now a quick poll question: Would you rather have me go ahead and post some of the mediocre haiku I’ve written, and try to actually post every day, or should I skip days that I can’t find/write a really good haiku? I’m trying to start posting haiku again and I’m having trouble figuring out which of the haiku in my notebook are good enough to be worth posting. Any opinions?
