I love the winter weather...

...except the part that knocks out the phone lines, resulting in a three day wait for the nice man from Qwest.

The nice man has come and gone, and I'm back, obviously. I'm a bit out of touch, though, since I took my forced exile from blogging as an opportunity for a much needed rest from current events.

Something must have happened, though, and I'm bound to have something to say about some of it, so stay tuned...
