It’s almost two in the morning and I am sitting in a dark room. The only light comes from our two computer screens. Jonas is still up as well. I’ve not done nearly as much as I would have liked today. Unfortunately that seems to be becoming a theme. But I’ve promised myself that I would post one item a day from now on, even if it kills me, and here we are.

That picture up there is of Agios Ioannis, a wonderful beach near where Jonas’s parents have their summer house. If I were to answer the question of where I want to be perfectly truthfully, I would have to say at the top of the New York Times Bestseller List, but – the world of publishing being as it is – I shall have to settle for this much more sunny and obtainable goal.

Tomorrow I hope to have some nice, juicy book reviews for you. Something with a few more intellectual calories than my whining about my lack of fame. And the Epic Annoucement™ is, of course, drawing closer as I type. For now look at these pictures of flowers that I just posted on Flickr while I slouch off to bed before an icicle grows on my nose. Someone really should tell the weather that it’s August.
