Won't Be Here

I won't be posting for the next week, because I am going on vacation.

I am leaving for a condo in Cypress Hills, this great forest reserve.

We've been going there for 7 years.

It's a family thing.

We enjoy it. It's kind of like the reality show Big Brother, only instead of everybody hating each other by the end of the season, everybody likes each other and wishes it could last longer.

The joke is, none of the stuff we do is very special. It's everything you could do in the city - mini-golf, walking around, watching movies, playing cards. Nothing special.

But we're together, doing it. It's this wonderful kind of insular joy for the family.

Anyway, that's what I'll be doing. But I'll be planning blog posts, and there'll be more when I come back.
