Guess who's back?

Ohio was glorious, as usual. I had some near-brushes with cuteness overload between my sister's wee dog and the wee nephew. Luckily, I shook it off with some Reds and Red Sox suckage. That kept me anchored in reality.

It's nearly impossible to describe a week spent with your family, so I won't really try. Good times were had. Pictures were taken. Well, I will mention this: The sun and bugs love me. Chemicals do not deter them, oh no. Did I wear thirty layers of insect repellant and have all manner of citronella burning around me? Yes. Did I still get over thirty bites on my feet alone? Yup. (And, no, I'm not exaggerating. I just counted.) I also wore the SPF 48 and still got a sunburn. I guess I'm just lucky that way.
