Well, I'm packing it in for the next several days as I journey to Carmel for fun in the Family sun.

I may have intermittent web access, and I may not. I'll be taking plenty of pictures, and may even get to writing some more stories during the downtime. I'll be back in full just after Christmas, so enjoy the holiday, cherish your family, friends, and other loved ones, and have a save and joyous holiday season!

And thank you all for reading. I enjoy writing this blog as much as I like to imagine you enjoy reading it. Even though I don't know a whole lot of you, and even though some of us obviously have differences of opinions from time to time ;-) I find it really fulfilling to interact with you, and I want to let you know I'm thankful to a degree deeper than can be measure in hit-counters.

Fare thee well!
