Gone Fishin’
I won’t be writing anything here for the next week-and-a-half or so. I’m taking some time off from blogging, and then next weekend Jill and I are off to Taipei. My soccer team’s playing in the Taiwan Summer Cup tournament (don’t miss the very amusing team page of the site). Wish us luck.
I leave you with these links:
