Time out in a camera-free zone

I took a short break from the "every day" and spent the last few nights at my mother's house, while she is away, vacationing with her new husband. I took not a single photograph and blogged not a single word while there. I was, you see, a little burned out -- on the incessant heat, on the "every day," and, especially, on the constant picture taking. Not surprisingly, that's the subject of my column today.
