I feel the monkeymind spinning out of control lately; work, personal errands, don't forget this and remember to do that.  I know my mind is moving waaay too fast when I start running words together while I'm typing.  (and on the subject of typing, does anyone else dyslexically swap k for d or i for e when typing fast?)  Not to mention when I wander off the topic with parenthetical sentences!  Luckily (but with a small amount of trepidation) we're off to Big Bend National Park in the great state of Texas to meet my folks and my sister and brother in law for a few days of hiking and checking out somewhere I've never been.  Really looking forward to the road trip thru Arizona, New Mexico and West Texas and I'll be borrowing a nice Canon still setup from my friend Scott that, I'm hoping, will rekindle my love of taking pictures (a hobby I haven't messed with since digital took over).  I'll also be carrying a nice field recording rig (zeppelin, Sennheiser MKH8040, Sound Devices MixPre, Olympus LS10) and am planning on grabbing a bunch of sfx on the trip.  So here's hoping for a nice, relaxing trip and a return to a couple of new games to work on!
