in the woods

Today we're taking an Amtrak train up to Massachusetts to spend time with some close friends and a sturdy little cowdog named Earl. There will be woods; there will be books about being In the Woods (a different context, but it's still worth the pun); there will be dog slobber; there will be ticks; there will be laughing and leg slapping, and last, but not least, there will be coffee.

Hopefully our new cat sitter has a good weekend with the hairy tyrants. When I get back we'll talk about that whole 5 on 5 disappearance.
