Some of you have noticed my summer hiatus.  I was going to lose some vacation at the end of the year and negotiated an extended leave of seven weeks (5 down, two to go).   We're off learning to live as a new, nuclear family with our newborn son, and just finished a marathon four weeks of family visiting.  I have tons of pictures to upload to Flickr and have also spent some time with Expression Web and Photoshop helping some fellow BBQ'ers create the Pacific Northwest Eggfest site.  Home improvement projects a plenty, and we just did our first major (10 hour) road trip with geek toys which I'll blog about later.

Thanks to all for your inquiry emails- I'll be posting a lot more often here once I've finished recharging!
