Re-Pro

After an Easter elsewhere, today is the first day of the spring term: "We're back" at the apartment. In New York for two weeks with a long weekend in Vermont, it feels as though we have had a lengthy break. Not as exotic as the trip to the Galapagos or Cortina, St. Bart's or Africa of some, but a welcome break. Perhaps it wasn't quite as hard to leave the modain? We saw a couple of very good movies (The Merchant of Venice, Million Dollar Baby), painted the television room, ran Sophie's lacrosse warm-up regime, up and down our road, and cross country skied locally and at our friends' farm in Vermont. We enjoyed the dogs. We read books. We ate home-cooked meals, and now we are back in Providence.
