On Not Owning A Vacation Home

Funny article in Slate entitled On Not Owning A Vacation Home by Timothy Noah. Read in full here.

I do not own a summer house. The summer house I don't own has not been in the family for three generations. It's a simple, shingled affair, weathered and dear, with fishnets not hanging from the ceiling, duck decoys not arrayed on the shelves, and a large, yellowing map of the area, festooned with incomprehensible nautical markings, not stuck to the wall with pushpins not manufactured in 1954. I love the scent it doesn't give off of mothballs mingled with mold.

Gitnerblog Update

I've been neglecting the blog for the past 2 weeks or so, but never fear. While I haven't been updating the blog, I've been thinking a lot about updating the blog. True, actions speak louder than words but I will be blogging on a fairly consistent basis when the school year starts. Get ready for life updates and commentary on... whatever I feel compelled to write about. It's time to flex the blogging muscles.
