It's about that time again...

Yes, it's July, and next week esrblog and I will be traveling to the wilds of Michigan to spend nearly a week practicing our sword technique with our Michigan friends.

Although I hate the logistics involved, I'm looking forward to the break in routine. The weather there has been very fine; not too hot or too cold, and mostly sunny. Spending a few days outdoors engaged in vigorous physical activity should be lots of fun. (And if I'm lucky, I can instigate an expedition to see the new Harry Potter movie right before we're scheduled to come back.)
