Hey, gang! How are you this fine Thursday?

And for that matter… how am I?

As I write this (nearly a week in advance!), I am preparing to embark on a grand adventure, and Patbird is enjoying his very own right now: he and my godparents have left Michigan to meet my family here in Virginia, and tomorrow morning we will all set off for the beach and it will be awesome.

So… see you next week!  Hopefully neither of us will come back with ridiculous burns, like the last time Mr. Sun and I butted heads.  (I sported a very trendy triangle-shaped dark spot on my thigh until winter came and my natural pastiness evened everything out. Never cross your legs for over an hour, guys.)
