I've Escaped!

For a few days, anyway.

I'm tired, having seen more than I'd have liked of last night's passing with rather wide-open eyes. That is what comes of trying to prepare to be away for four days, only to realize that certain things have been neglected over the past days and months. Things such as remembering not to lose your battery recharger. Had I remembered that, I wouldn't have spent two hours looking for it, only to concede that it has won the round and I, alas, will be making a trip to the store on my way out to purchase large quantities of regular batteries. And perhaps a second recharger as well; after all, given the frequency with which I lose the thing, having a backup might not be such a bad idea. At least the one-in-the-morning, "oops, do I have clothes?" was easily resolved; wandering around to look was enough to remind me that no work clothes would be needed, and I'm good at being casual.

Nevertheless, and back to my original point, though tired I am yet leaving, setting forth this night to see what creatures I can encounter, what landscapes enjoy, what mountains of exotic new food and drink discover, and what trouble I might get into, having successfully escaped the clutch of work for an extra two full days.

I will be back late Monday night; expect no new posts until Tuesday, at which point I will supply pictures, reviews, and outright rambling.
