Yes, loyal reader, Gesh's Globe is finally back up and running, and the prodigious staff here has vowed to really deliver the goods as a way of thanking you for your patience during this long hiatus.
As promised before we lit out for the territory, the first order of business is an account of our visit with dear friends Julie and Adrian, who now join the illustrious ranks of repeat visitors to the Jim Thorpe facilities.
It was a relaxing time; we stayed up late chatting and passing Stillman around, then the next day Julie, Adrian and I took a stroll down to the river, got our feet wet, threw rocks, saw a big spider, got yelled at for messing around on the railroad tracks, and then rejoined Stillman and TLS, who had been resting. And then, you won't believe this next part: We went to a little cafe down the street and sat there and had a meal! Our lives sure have changed. Not much more than a year ago, life was a whirlwind series of such outings -- the living was fast and easy. Now dining in a cafe down the street is a memorable event, the kind of thing that holds you for weeks. The old high-flying ways were fun, to be sure, but it's also nice to feel a bit more grounded and . . . what -- sustainable? Reasonable? Responsible? Poor?
The other thing that struck us about the visit is how very, very fortunate we are to have so many wonderful friends and family members, people whose company is so thoroughly enjoyable. As life's pleasures go, tell me something better than a relaxing summer weekend with family and good friends. I bet you can't.
