Back to <a href="http://faerye.net/post/home-places" target="links">Grants Pass</a>, in fact. Nothing serious, but I’m far, far off my normal routine and haven’t been working down the list of blog topics upon which I am <em>burning</em> to opine.</p>
<p>I may be moved to rant about the amount of unwanted junk mail my grandma gets from a political party she abandoned <em>twenty years ago</em>, but that wasn’t previously on the topic list!</p>
<p>(And for those of you who are also <a href="http://twitter.com/faerye" target="links">Twitter</a> readers: I shall <strong>try</strong> not to tweet about Scrabble too much. Really, I shall be trying. Even if you can’t tell.)</p>http://faerye.net/post/vacation-by-the-numbersVacation, by the numbers2006-06-02T22:06:29+00:002008-06-08T14:14:41+00:00<p>Number of days spent on a train: 3.5<br />
