As it happens, Dina doesn’t really get to pick when her vacations fall, and so while we wouldn’t necessarily have scheduled another week off so soon after our Hawaii trip, we have one coming up just the same. I’m pretty excited to pack up the car and spend next week on the road. We’re aiming for the Southwest, a part of the country I missed on my 2005 cross-country adventure and a place I haven’t explored much at all.
I’m looking forward to seeing some new sights, visiting friends, taking a bunch of photos, and relaxing in hopefully sunnier places.

The dining room table is really coming along now, and should be done in a matter of days. All the woodworking, shaping and sanding is complete, what remains is to apply the finish. Before I started staining, I wanted to take a picture of the tabletop, but all I had was my phone, and the field of view is much too narrow to capture the whole thing without some serious shenanigans. So you get a Photosynth view instead:
I’ll definitely post some more pictures when it’s finished, and we’ll see about writing up a summary for the Projects page.
