Vacation Vortex

What the hell just happened?

Darren and I went to Boulder, Colorado to visit my parents last week and I swear I have no idea where the time went, but I certainly didn't spend much of it reading.  I used to go to my parents and read, watch movies, eat, walk; but now I have a 2 1/2 year old, so I never read, or watch movies. When we eat it feels more like shoveling, and when we walk it is more like meandering.  It is certainly still wonderful to be there but it is different and a bit sad to think that it may never be the same.

However, at the outset of the trip I started reading Visit from the Goon Squad, and since then it has won the 2011 Pulitzer for fiction, so that bodes well for me enjoying it's remaining pages.  So far, I really like it but with it's shifts in time and points of view it would be a much better idea to give it more attention than I have.
