I got some things accomplished today; the pile of unprocessed mail is much smaller, and I ordered a new laptop (an M2 MacBook Air – next time I go to Africa, I’ll be able to deal with my photos a lot faster than I did on this year’s trip).

I also was the Toastmaster for the Silicon Valley Storytellers‘s club contest this evening – it was my first Toastmasters meeting in over a month, the longest break I’ve ever taken.

We also worked out this morning for the first time since our vacation, and that must be why I’m exhausted!

Phil, one of my new friends from the Africa trip, commented on yesterday’s posting:

You deserve a lazy day!! Take another.

So I did.

Well, not completely; I created a master page with links to all the blog postings I made for the Africa trip. I’ll update it when I add photos for the days when I had bad connectivity and couldn’t post much.
