All aboard!!

I've chosen a train conductor avatar for August because Sydney and I will be heading out of the desert for several days during the month. I've got my 20-year high school reunion as well as JJ's wedding on two consecutive weekends, so Syd and I will be out at Mom's house for that entire stretch of days. I'm looking forward to it, and am hoping for a very good trip out there. We've got plans, as usual, as well as lists of things to accomplish together (with Mom, naturally).
I'd bullet point them for you, but then I wouldn't be able to surprise you with the awesomeness of it all. Happy August!
