"We couldn't find any ring pops, but we got you this vintage segway..."

I'm enjoying my last night curled up in my own bed, and one of the first of many nights curled up with my new laptop! Its most exciting features are its battery life, which will allow me to watch an entire movie on the van, and its webcam, which will allow me to video-chat with friends and family and occasionally post ridiculous videos on the YouTubes. All of the YouTubes!

I say last night, but I actually mean last night for now. I'll only be gone for 14 days (two days shorter than my previous stint) and now that I'm more used to touring, it will probably fly by like a Saiyan on a mission.

My little bonzai-break has been pretty great. It featured catching up with friends, birthday dinner #3, Misdirections magic shop, old French movies, and catching a performance by the always lovely Lauren Shera at this neat little possibly haunted lodge in the Santa Cruz mountains. We arrived about an hour early which gave us time to replenish our strength at a taqueria, and our supply of ring pops at a super market (two of which we gifted to Lauren and her violin-accordion-accompanist Andrea). Lauren was as wonderful as ever, but we decided not to stay for the other two acts and brave the ocean of hipsters.

Home is always ncie, but getting back on the road is also exciting. Paducah, KY here we come!

I am now going to disregard modern English convention by not writing a concluding paragraph. Wait... whoops.
