It's been a funny summer, and one that has madly rushed by. One of the reasons why is that it has been a very hectic summer, although pleasantly so. Even though I live in a vacation destination state I've had precious few visitors over the years, which I attribute to my lacks of attractive personal attributes. Happily, that changed late this summer as a few of my oldest friends drove up here for a visit within a week of each other. I'll get to Bill and Kathy soon, but in the meantime I'll post a few pictures of my dear friends Debi and Ben. Debi and I taught together back at Georgia Perimeter (nee DeKalb) College when the world was young and have remained in close contact even though I left GPC sixteen years ago and Debi is now a Dean in Washington, DC. She claims that she lost me to her great (and long-suffering) husband Ben, and that I put up with her mainly so that Ben and I can talk baseball. Sadly, the Lake Monsters were out of town while they were here - and even the Montreal Alouettes were on the road. Still, because Ben had never visited Canada we crossed the border for a few hours. I am blessed to have such amazing friends.

| And what trip north of the border would be complete without a visit to Tim Horton's? |

| Debi, who has a profound sweet teeth, discovered true happiness with the Tim Bits. |

And back in VT we had to go to the Four Corners deli, the best restaurant in the state.
