There's a good reason why I haven't been seen here since the end of July. Katy and I have been travelling in western Canada and the northern USA.

Spending a few weeks on the road means there's a fair bit of extra work to be done before and after the trip in order to stay on top of things back home. And most of my time is currently taken up by writing, as I put together the various bits and pieces that will eventually make up my M.A.Sc. thesis.

We now have about 4100 photos to sort through, the best of which will find their way on here and on Facebook in the coming weeks.
