Break was wonderful. We rented a cabin in the Smoky Mountains and avoided people in general for a week. I read lots, and even managed to do a bit of writing.

Only odd interruption was an early-morning call to Linacre on a loan question that ended with the news that my loan is good to go. It's a bit more money than I'd initially expected, though I suppose better to overestimate this time round, rather than underestimate.

Then I came home to find my visa was approved and hopefully should be dropped off by FedEx tomorrow.

Yay! I smell progress. Now I get to find airfare and get ready to ship my things.

So...anything interesting happen while I was incommunicada?
