I am alive and kicking!! No, really.

So yes, I know it has been forever and a couple days (5 to be exact) since I last posted anything. The last couple weeks have been filled with preparing for family and then having family here. Since those individuals represent something close to 98.625% of my readership I didn't really worry all that much about updating things. But now I am once again a lonely Yank so everybody can look forward to lots of more fun stuff.

Tomorrow....
