Sorry for my absence. No, I'm not already losing interest in blogging. My computer cord was accidentally jettisoned on my vacation travels. Which is fine, because I'm done being grumpy, I spared you a few days of whining. Spring is back, and even though the big problems I was thinking about last week are still around, they don't have me quite as paralyzed. Instead, I'm thinking about fun activities for the spring and summer.
First, I definitely want to get back into sailing. I took a basic keelboating class last year, and it's always been a dream to someday to cruise a sailboat around the Mediterranean and around the Caribbean. In order to do that, I have to get more experience. I have no problem with my sea legs, although when I did my two-day class I had a few days of "mal de debarquement" or "land sickness" afterward. It's very interesting to me that I seem to acclimate more easily to being on a boat than to being back on dry land. I hope as I do more sailing I can train my brain to more quickly acclimate between sea and land.
I'm also thinking about hiking and maybe even camping I can do with Max before Adam comes home. Maybe bike the Skyline Drive in Shenandoah. There are bluegrass concerts to go to, rivers to swim in, and new things to learn. I'm back on a positive note, and hoping I can hold it there until Adam comes back to go on these adventures with me.
