I’ve been on vacation for the last week or 10 days, at the beach:

I swam a lot (but safely), spent a lot of time in the sun, played with my kids, fiddled with Mandelbrot code, and just generally relaxed. I also bought a surfboard (new hobby or midlife crisis? you decide!) which I do not know how to use yet. It was a great week on Cape Cod.

Now we are back, and it is time to dig into fall: work, school, leaves, snow, etc.
