We are smiling because we are going to Japan. We are leaving now. We are taking the children and leaving the cats and the dog. While we are gone, we will not be making any books or checking our email. We will not be filling any orders. We will not be posting to this blog.

BUT, thanks to the miracles of modern technology, we have written a few entries that will automatically post for you in the days ahead. So check back in if it pleases you, or wait until October 31st, when we will post some photos of that faroff, mystical land of Robbi’s forebears. And likely some prizewinning shots of me jumping over Mt. Fuji or whatever else in Japan is tall and seemingly insurmountable.

And with that, we bid you farewell.
