I keep answering the same questions, so it's time to write a FAQ (hehe.) You can't really use this to rob my house or hack my server, because both locations will still be monitored by other people.

2 June	Koinonea presents 2012 in San Francisco
3 June	get on a plane in the afternoon, stay on it for a long time
4-9 June	Dublin, Ireland for MAAWG
9-16 June	London, United Kingdom: working from Yahoo!'s London office, plus some sightseeing & fun
16-30 June	St. Petersburg, Russia for the first session of the Summer Literary Seminar
2 July	home again

Yes, the literary seminar is in English. It's run by folks who spend most of the year in Brooklyn.

You didn't know that I want to write because I didn't talk much about it. Well, except here on my blog. So if you're reading this, maybe you already knew. Anyway, the desire to write has only recently moved into the active file.

Yes, it'll be a big fun crazy trip.

I'll write more (and take lots of pictures) as the trip progresses.

So after that wonderful morning of introspection and afternoon in Boulder, I got a good night's sleep in the Hampton Inn in Grand Junction, Colorado, and woke up feeling both refereshed and completely ready to be done with the trip.

I mean, completely ready. Spending 8-9 hours driving each day was a lot more relaxing than 10-11 hours like I'd done on the trip out, but it was resulting in too many days -- and it looked like there'd be nothing but clouds and probably rain for the rest of the trip anyway. So I did a bit of research, and decided to re-route up US 6 to Salt Lake City and then get back on good ol' reliable boring 80, probably stopping in the middle of Nevada for the night.

second day of the return trip starts early but comfortably...I woke up naturaly around 7:30, got some unfortunate coffee and a bagel-shaped roll from the buffet, and proceeded to catch up on e-Mail and plan the day's drive.

turns out I can easily spend a few hours in Boulder on the way...I've never been there, but I've always wanted to visit.

as I stepped out into the cloudy Nebraska morning I saw a wonderful sight: a little drive-through espresso shack. they serve seattle's best, which (while not the best I've had in seattle) is more than acceptable.

today is starting off very nicely.
