Westward, part deux

The next round begins just a small journey west, but west enough to denote the sequel of a title.

May 30 (yup, that's today, folks) - June 3: L'Abri Fellowship, Southborough, MA. Check it out here.

June 5 - 7: Mom's 45th college reunion at Wellesley College (still technically West of Boston, which is my target start point). I've gone with her to every reunion since I was 10. My first reunion (five year!) will be in two years, which is crazytalk.

June 8 - July 21/22: Austin, TX. Catsitting for Fennski, nannying a bit, practicing and writing up the wazoo, seeing lots of music in the "live music capital" and jumping in every lake/river/stream possible with a rowdy group of Wellesley alums. My goal is to come out of the Austin experience with fantastic cowboy boots, a real authentic drawl, and a much higher spice tolerance. I might even try to land myself a morning job in a local bakery, to #stressbake and get paid doing it.

July 22 (or so) - August 9 (or so): Indian River, MI. Family time in my favorite place in the world.

The westward part deux plan is a bit open-ended at the moment, as certain professional/practical things need to be figured out once I've touched down in Texas and have a few weeks to get things sorted and see how I like the Southwestern lifestyle (and climate). But at the very latest, I have a return trip to New England already in the works to be at a very wonderful occasion for a dear friend of mine, her wedding in Maine in September. I may take this opportunity to do some graduate school scouting in New Haven and New York and pay a long-overdue visit to Chrissy & Greg in NJ/Philadelphia.

September 4 - 13: Boston around Labor Day/Maine wedding/Philly/New Haven or NYC (exact plans TBD)

It's turning out to be a pretty fantastic plan for a summer, and I am looking forward to continuing the twitter hashtag of #Westward for the upcoming adventures.

love,
