My mother returned from France today, totally energized. It's really something. I have a hard time keeping up with her enthusiasm.

I'm going to try and get her to post some writing and photos on vagabender.com, which I'm going to slowly make into an open platform for my friends and family to share the wild and rollicking details of their lives. A-stock just got back from Singapore and will probably be our first post-road-trip poster, then maybe my mom.

I think it's a good idea. There are a lot of travelers in my extended social family. Could be fun.
