Suomiward bound
---------------

In about 36 hours I will set off on my five day tour of the Saariston
Rengastie in the Finnish archipelago, the one I mentioned previously
in my "Blazing Star" post[1].  I won't have access to my email again
until the 15th, so please be patient when waiting for responses!
I feel a bit silly saying that, because, let's be honest, sometimes
it takes me 12 days or longer to reply even when I'm not off rolling
around without a computer, but I'm trying to get better at that,
and it still seemed polite to say something.  Please look forward
to a very complete report on the trip sometime later in July.

My computer-related plans for Operation Blazing Star have stalled
a little bit, but I'm telling myself this is perfectly natural
because it's summer so I've been outdoors more, in part preparing
for this upcoming bike tour which is *also* part of the "level
up non-computery things" branch of Blazing Star.  Once this trip
is out of the way, and once the weather starts to cool off, I'll
naturally be spending more time on computery stuff and I'm sure
momentum will pick right back up.  I'm entirely unapologetic about
aligning my leisure activities with the seasons.  If anything,
I ought to lean into that more.

Speaking of swinging back toward computer stuff, I have some big
plans for Circumlunar Space up my sleeve for August!  Stay tuned
for an announcement about that later this month as well.
