Retreat.... reprieve!

I must be off to the retreat. Here, these look duly contemplative:





Devil's Lake. From last weekend, which was not like this weekend.

ADDED: Since I'll be in retreat, feel free to use the comments on this post to discuss whatever you'd like, subject to the usual decency standards that prevail around here. That is, talk amongst yourselves.

CORRECTION: Checking the calendar. In fact, it's next Saturday two weeks from today!

MORE: I'm trying to think if I feel better having thought I needed to do this today and then realizing I didn't than I would have felt otherwise. Considering how dreary the weather is today, I wish it was this weekend...
