It’s August. Young children are now mentally tallying up their summer vacations in preparation for the inevitable “What I Did for Summer Vacation” pictorial essay that is the punctuation mark at the end of summer. Here at FWiC we decided to delve in the idea of travel and vacations and muck around a bit.

Albeit a smidgen tardy (due to Girls Camp complete with chigger bites, harrowing employment issues, and a desperate need for sleep), the new FWiC is jam packed with good stuff this month. We have for your consideration a YooHoo drink box with wanderlust; e-postcards (you can send them to people you know, or don’t know for that matter); vacationing in the suburbs; an accidental tourist; killer beach logs; a really white doctor in Ghana; sisters in Japan, transglobal recipes; one person’s recollections of Pontiac, IL; proof that we were there; a musing on maps and Pacman; a portion of Dario Solman’s Air Files; and a slew of other things on the way. We just have too much material to throw it up all at once! Check back often as new projects surface, and others expand. So without further ado, behold the FWiC.

We would also like to put in a plug for future cycles of FWiC, so get your flirting juices flowing:
