By now, I assume you are beginning to wonder what has become of me… although, judging by my stats, most of you just decided to carry on with your lives as though I didn’t leave a huge, me-shapped hole in them. I am at my mom’s house in the Bay Area… that is the San Francisco Bay Area, as if there was any other bay area that could be called just the ‘Bay Area’… for or usual Christmas craziness. I don’t tell people when we are traveling for obvious reasons, but I am telling you now because there are now people… and a really ferocious dog… ha… at our house again.

I haven’t been gone more than a week. But before that, I couldn’t use our computer. My wife’s company is moving its offices, so she was working from home the week before we left for our trip. She unplugged our computer and plugged in the big, shiny box from her work. I wasn’t allowed to touch it… because I am a computer moron… so that is why there have been no funny Photoshop pictures or long blog posts or photos for so long. I did manage to post a few short posts on my iPad… but that was it.

Give me a few more days, and I will be back to my usual self… whatever that is.

And there will be pictures… oh yes, there will.
