The trouble is getting back from vacating. In Copenhagen, with few friends, a haze of smoke in even the few good restaurants, an approaching summer that went into retreat in early June, the loudspeakered party room under my apartment, and a harbor view from my corner desk in the office, I didn't have a huge problem doing work. Back in LA, with my reassembled bicycle (about 0.5% of it didn't make it through shipping), good cheap food, old friends, abundant retail opportunities, and my grandmother's garage to help clean, it's been a bit harder to get into the groove. But groove I shall, because I am a seasoned professional. Also I've booked all my tickets to go back to Copenhagen in September to keep the ball rolling with the remaining projects that I'm doing with Collaboraid.

Meanwhile ... meanwhile I think it will be many months before Southern California doesn't feel like vacation, even when I'm working.
