Phew. I’m back from my Canada / New England vacation. Now, I need to fit in some power-relaxing over the weekend before heading off again Sunday evening for a work recruiting trip.

Vital statistics:

• Time: Seven days
• Distance driven: 1400 miles
• Countries: Two (United States, Canada)
• U.S. states: Seven (New Jersey, New York, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut)
• Canadian provinces: One (Québec)
• Pictures taken: 877
• Number of poutine-related calories ingested: Too high to count

Despite what I assume is raging popularity among my “Daily Reading” articles, I’ll be on hiatus for (at least) the next week as I travel north to visit Canada for the first time (specifically Québec, where I’m a tad concerned the only French I end up remembering from high school will be remembering the province’s accent aigu).
