It is amazing what one can miss while sleeping in the car. The California wine country is alluring (trying to expand my vocabulary) in its own way. Green rolling hills, and vineyard streaching away from the road and up the hills to the north and west. I have somehow managed to be asleep through that streach of the drive the last few times I've been up this way. I was reminded of the movie A Walk in the Clouds with Keanu Reeves. There is something rather appealing about vineyards. (I think I've watched too many movies)

I am looking at close to three weeks of internet deprivation, and I can think of nothing to write. Finals are over, and I don't really want to revisit them, even to complain. I am not really sure what to expect from the break, so I'm not going to go on about how wonderful it will all be. I plan to keep something of a scribble book so I'll have plenty to say after the fact. I am feeling strangly emotionally void and not very much inclined to ramble on about things.

However this will not prevent me from wishing you all a blessed Christmas and a happy New Year. Mayhap I will be on sooner than I expect and and in a more holiday mood.
Ciao...
