I'm a poet / essayist / memoirist/
journalist (in the sense of keeping a journal, not of working for a newspaper) and it occurred to me that a blog fits in with all that. If Montaigne, father of the essay, were alive today, he'd keep a blog. This is my self-portrait as frustrated artist who can't believe she's not famous yet.

Where I've Been Lately

In "Dead Man's Party," episode 2 of Season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, we get this exchange between Buffy and Xander about where, exactly, Buffy might have gone after running away from Sunnydale:

X: So where were you? Did you go to Belgium?

B: Why would I go to Belgium?

X: I think the relevant question is, why wouldn’t you? Belgium!

So, I haven't been away from Sunnydale (aka the blogosphere) quite as long as Buffy was absent from Sunnydale that summer, but I did go to Belgium, as I sometimes do. In particular, I went here, the Chateau du Lac at Genval, for a wedding. If you live in Belgium and are wondering where to have your reception, let me heartily recommend Chateau du Lac.

I could now spend some time apologizing for being such a crappy, undisciplined blogger, but I've done that in almost everything I've posted lately, so I think I'll just provide some pictures instead, but I'm going to make you click on the "continue reading" button to see them.

I hope to post more soon.

Here's a view from the front steps of the chateau:

Buffy! Yeah, why wouldn't you? Because waffles. And chocolate. Nice pictures.

The chateau is really gorgeous. And what a fine day!

No need to apologize but it's good to see you again.

Just glad to see you back online!

Stunning photos Holly and what a good reason for not being here!

Welcome back Holly. We all have to take a break now and then. Why not Belgium??? ;-)

I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me....

Welcome back, champ!

Belgium: world's best chocolate. I used to think Swiss chocolate was the best when I lived there, but no, it's Belgian chocolate.
Those photos are dreamy.
