School's Out!

Friends, I am going dark for a bit. My kids just finished school and we're taking them on a little European excursion. Actually, we're road tripping from Barcelona to Paris, visiting some family in Tarragona, driving across the Pyrenees and hitting several cool points of interest in between. Wending our way through the Dordogne Valley, checking out the cave paintings, chowing down on some truffles, foie gras and walnuts in the Perigord region and all that jazz. No time for Bordeaux, unfortunately. And the kids are only interested in the 1984 and 1997 vintages which, I'm sorry, you need to be at least 10 years of age to consume. Not the most restful of holidays but full of fun and culture - and I'm certain to gain 5 pounds in the process!

So may the beginning of your summer be full of fun and happiness for you and yours and I look forward to re-engaging later in the month.
