Visiting Canada again

I am currently at the beginning of a trip to Canada to visit family and friends. Organizing that - and, more significantly, trying to get things finished up before leaving - has taken up much of my time these last few weeks. And now I am trying to transition from "get it done" mode to the mode of being present with these people I love who I don't get to see all that often. Perhaps that will give time and desire to write more of my thoughts, but perhaps that will have to wait (like the dissertation) until I return home again. Who knows? only time will tell...
