It's good to be back.

Dr. Wood on vacation

• Fog drifts through the woods from the river, blanketing my sister's horse pasture in soft, gray light and shadow.
• I woke up during the night to find my bed co-occupied by two cats and a 95-lb. Labrador Retriever.
• Went to the bookstore yesterday to watch my niece work and was thrilled to see three copies of Shreve's book on the shelf!
