Carrie, please keep commenting!!  But, it's time to become public again.  There's no longer anyone doing an intensive background check on me (a side reason to be private--I didn't really have anything to hide on here).  There's no long anyone who I don't want to know that I'm moving in a month (the real reason I went private--no one (minus 2) in Boston knew I was moving until about 2 weeks before I headed out--and then they learned one at a time until a few days before I left--and I wanted it that way).

So back to to the open air.  But maybe one day I'll go back under again. We'll see.

As you've also noticed, I don't blog a lot. I was thinking about this back when I posted about Boston.  I made a blog for this purpose--so I could keep in touch with family and friends with one writing.  Unfortunately, my family doesn't read my blog.   So I just email them regularly.  And then you get some copy and paste or an occasional update.  Because I like staying in touch with those of you who read it.  So it's still just a newsletter blog, with some occasional extra thoughts.  But hopefully it's better than nothing. I like reading the past ones, so it's good for that too. :)

My beautiful summer in Michigan has been on my mind a lot recently (not sure all the reasons, maybe I'll tell about some I do know, soon).  That was 6 years ago (really? really). And that's when I started my first blog.  So maybe my next crazy adventure will lead to more blogging.  Don't hold your breath.  But maybe.
