Hi. The hardest thing about having a whole life and a whole blog is when you have to make choices between one and the other. I'm away this weekend at a wedding, I'll be back for a few days and then I'm off to Australia with indeterminate access for two weeks. Of course, these notices were more important in pre-RSS days to keep you from clicking through to my page, getting annoyed that I never updated, and then never coming back. In any case, there is always more to say and I think heading into what we affectionately call the "big blue room" for a few days can't hurt, can it?
