All my bags are packed...

Well, actually, it's only one bag. It is packed, though, and I'm saddling up in about half an hour. If all goes well, I'll be in Great Barrington in time for fireworks. The weather is cloudy and rain threatens, but the reports say I should be fine for most of the day. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. That's then, of course. Right now, it is a quiet summer morning and I'm enjoying a cup of coffee and a banana before I go. I'm obviously not taking a computer with me and we won't have WiFi in all the hotels where we'll be, so you may not hear from me a lot during the next 10 days (not that you've been hearing from me a lot lately, anyway). I'll be taking lots of notes and pics, so I can share the adventure with you when I get back. See you then!
