Are you feeling listless? Melancholy? Easily distracted? Are you experiencing an inexplicable sense of emptiness? Do you find yourself wandering, searching, but you don’t know what for?

Don’t worry, it’s going to be OK. I’m just on vacation for a week. I’ll be back soon, so don’t give up hope.

Yes indeedy, it’s true. I am in beautiful Southeastern Alaska right at this very moment – frolicking with seals, catching herring in the harbor in the dead of night, laying in a hammock and reading a variety of books around the themes of international development, gender issues, coming-of-age stories and how to not be dysfunctional anymore/relationship self-help. I couldn’t ask for a better agenda for a fantastic and restful week with two good friends in the Great White North!
