Intermediary post of sorts...

Hello, friends. Hope you all had a lovely long holiday weekend. An Austin recap is forthcoming. Maybe. My brain is still hesitantly coming out of vacation mode, unfortunately. I've actually done lots of things since my return (things like enjoying dinner and drinks on a local rooftop patio, finally switching my closet contents from winter- to summer-ready, watching the Netflix movies that have been sitting in my living room for three weeks or more, and, of course, perhaps most importantly, seeing a good friend get ENGAGED in front of an audience of approximately 60 or more). Yet, despite all these goings-on, I still feel that fuzzy not-quite-here thing that comes from spending a few days away from home. I'm also feeling more than overwhelmed by the 134 unread posts waiting for me in my Bloglines list. (Poppy, you want to just help me out and let me know which of your 21 recent posts I should read first?) I'm anxious to see what you've all been up to, but I may not make it over to your comments any time too soon.

Meanwhile, if you're interested in some not-so-interesting Austin pics, I've got a set up over at Flickr. Unfortunately, Flickr is down for maintenance right now, so I can't even link to those. In a couple hours, you can likely find them via this post, I presume. I'll try to update with a proper link later. Fair enough? Have at it.
