Excuse
August 9, 2011
Dear Sir(s) and/or Madam(s);
Please excuse Shelley from blogging today. She has gone off to look for Summer, as it hasn’t come home for weeks now, and we are starting to get worried. We think that Summer may be holed up in a Goshiwan near Hongdae, depressed and drinking heavily. Shelley left home this morning with a backpack full of dry crackers and flat ginger ale, determined to track Summer down and coax it back to health. She probably won’t be back until sundown, as Summer can be a cranky, unwilling thing when it feels its party has been rained on. And rained on. And rained on.
I am sure Shelley will be back to blogging tomorrow, hopefully with Summer back at work, doing its job of brightening all this grey concrete. Summer probably won’t be at its best, but at this point, we’re willing to put up with a little hangover grumpiness, as long as it comes back home.
Thank you for excusing Shelley from the blog today.
Love,
The Cat

Don’t look for summer over here because you won’t find it. As usual it was a scathing 12 degrees with the normal rain, drizzle, and fog!
Sadly, I have to agree with Dear Old Dad! BTW absolutely LOVING the daily blog. :-). Keep it up!
