Take a breather

Ever since March, when I found out I'd gotten into MacDowell, Adam and I have been bracing for an extended time apart. That was compounded later that spring when I learned I'd been accepted to Kimmel Harding.

Six weeks apart in a matter of months. It's too much.

These residences are very valuable. They're also an honor. But I'm not doing any more monthlong ones unless he can come with me. Two weeks is plenty if you really have your mind set on accomplishing something -- at least it is for me.

As I drove from Peterborough to Boston today, I realized that this is the first time in months that we're not preparing for that long time away from one another. It's a nice feeling.
