First things...

First things first: I am so sorry. For the few out there that actually read this blog, I have been a very poor contributor. Should this ever happen again (and you even care) please email me a very chastising, accusatory note...reminding me that this is the only way I will ever journal for posterity (i.e. my kids's future curiosity) what life was like for us.

There, I said it. Now let's get on with life!
