Faraway, So Close

Away for 10 days from phone, internet, TV and newspapers:

• 440 new emails - I'm guessing 20 of those are actual 'important' emails


• 930 unread items in Netnewswire. I'll probably skim/skip most of those


• 1 message on our answering machine.


• 1 bottle of PH balancing solution in our mailbox. We have no idea where this came from.


• Bills and assorted other boring 'real' mail.


• A couple of pre-made meals and two bags of buns from parents of youth - awesome!


• 1 cold (nearly beaten!)


• 2 hours of video footage to be edited.


• 252 digital pictures.

All in all, an amazing week up in Pierceland with our annual Splash trip. Each time I do something like this, it makes it harder and harder to go back to the selfish, money driven world of my 'real' job. Good thing I took an extra day off to decompress. :) Now, back to those emails.
