Phew…! My students’ final grades are in; my grad school course has wrapped up; and, my web site (karamia.com) re-design is done. Now, I can pack I’ll be back in blog land in June with a ton of pics of China and Hong Kong to share. Cheers!

Driftwood Lane, Backyard 2008. This is the view from my parent’s home, where I grew up. After traveling around the world, I can easily say that Lake Champlain is one of the world’s best kept secrets. Whenever I’m feeling down, sitting by the water and absorbing this gorgeous view always puts my problems in perspective.

If the sky turns black
And there’s no no way back
It won’t matter much to me
If I had you
All I need is your love

Finally, it’s boating season on Lake Champlain…! The Colchester Sun captured a pic of my bro launching his boat last week. I plan to take my Dad’s boat, Picnic, out this summer — after I give it a good scrub.
