It's Greek to me.

I'm still madly banging away at my brief, but it's finally taking shape. Despite being in the office until nearly 9:00 last night, I'm feeling motivated and productive rather than exhausted and stressed (I suppose the latter sentiments will hit me tomorrow).

More important, I took a little break this morning and finalized the travel plans that Lily and I have been percolating for a few weeks. (There's my priorities for you -- I've got a stack of inmate correspondence to respond to, I didn't eat dinner last night, and I had a hurried conversation with my sweetie this morning, but I always have time for travel planning!) We leave in early September for Greece, where we'll spend eight days sea kayaking in the Northern Dodecanese Islands! I'm so, so, so excited to have a trip in the works, and to travel again with Lil, who's one of my all-time favorite travel companions (and people in general).

More to follow on this adventure, of course, since it's still a full eight months out. But here are the details from our travel operator -- I think it sounds absolutely incredible!
