Already?!?! What a fast year this has been. Contrary to my rants the past few days, this really has been a terrific experience and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I can’t believe the end of the year is coming so quickly. I guess this is a good time to let you all know that YES, I’ll be returning to NYC at the end of December. The date has yet to be finalized, but I’ll keep y’all posted. That said, tomorrow’s a long day, so I’m going to hit the sack. I’ll try to update this weekend with some pictures from Kyoto. I’m going to a college alumni event on Sunday (one of my students went to my college!!) so I’m going to try to get some good autumn leaves pictures. Stay tuned…
