You won't hear from me until Friday, because it's vacation time to our summer home in Bear Valley with my grandparents. I'd rather not go, of course, but I've got nothing better to do. And on Friday it's a mad rush to finish that frequently-mentioned computer animation project, "Rupert." Such is life.

But here's the kicker: I'm going on a trip AGAIN next week to Yosemite with my uncle and twin cousins. I think that'll be a bit more fun, though.

AND AFTER THAT, IT'S SCHOOL.
