Yawping together


When Walt Whitman said, "We were together. I forget the rest," I think he was talking about our summer. The three months of activity (out of school, on and off the road, and all over town) are already a blur in my mind.


The question isn't what did we do, but more what didn't we do? It was full speed ahead, jam packed busy-ness.


I am grateful for our adventures but keeping up with the fun hasn't been easy. Let's just say my ability to simultaneously handle exhaustion, frustration, boredom, and chaos has been greatly expanded.


I am almost SURE Walt Whitman was thinking of our summer when he wrote "I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world." A loud yawp about sums up the state that our summer has left me in. Visually, it looks like this:


Yes. I am REALLY looking forward to recuperating during the coming school days. Hopefully, I'll be ready to give it another go by next June. Hopefully.
