Bloggerbyconvincement is on vacation in August as I take “an extended period of recreation.” It started earlier this month with another inspiring residency at the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts (my MFA in writing alma mater) and will continue as my husband, Jerry, and I travel with friends to take in some plays in Ashland, OR.  I went to the Shakespeare Festival for the first time last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll let you know about this year’s visit—after I return from vacation.

As the song says – “See you …in September.”
