I Have Been a Bad, Bad Updater

My last post was June 5.  Ouch.  And many, many wonderful things have happened since then, including but not limited to:

• A trip to Antwerp
• A trip to Paris (featuring French Open tennis!)
• The Eurovision Song Contest Finals
  
• Seeing Guns N' Roses for the first time ever
• Another trip to Estonia
• A trip to London with my sisters (featuring Wimbledon tennis!)
  
• Attending an opera festival inside an old castle
• Attending Tuska Open Air Metal Festival
• Summer Cottage Weekends
• Floating down the River Vantaa in a rubber boat

I think this can be chalked up to one of those catch 22's of life: when you're not busy and have time to write, it's because, well...you're not busy and there isn't much to write about.  But when you're busy and therefore creating fodder for lots of stories, you're too busy to sit down and write it all out!

So over the next week I am going to try to fire up my memory bank and backdate a bunch of posts about all these things.  Thank you for your patience as I've been off running around, having one of the best summers of my life.
