I have just returned from a week-long holiday in Sicily with Doug and the girls and 16 other friends!  It was an amazing holiday in every way.  I am now home for less than 24 hours before flying to Malaysia to teach.  I have lots to say, many photos to show you, and a new knitting project to discuss.  I will get around to a great, newsy post as soon as I can.

In the meantime, I am here to report a solid week without any internet connection of any kind.  During the past 7 days, I did not look at my work email (with the approval, nay even the urging, of my boss, who could see that I was in serious need of a holiday).  I did not check my personal email.  I did not go on Ravelry (not once!  for a week!).  I did not read any blogs.  I did not even read the news!  I can report that the world did not end, that spam email can exist in a vacuum, and that Ravelry managed to survive without me!  All is well chez Knitigating Circumstances.
