Checking in

Contrary to what some might have concluded from the lack of postings to the blog over the past week, I am not dead, in prison, or living under an assumed name in Bolivia. I spent most of the early part of the week preparing for a Parental Visitation, only to have to change gears at the last minute and make plans to travel to Missouri this weekend when I was notified that a great-aunt had died on Thursday. I'll be on the road tomorrow, through the endless cornfields, across the Big River, and into the heart o' the Ozarks. Consequently I'll be out of contact with the electronic world until the middle of next week. Until then, play nice, sleep tight, and don't let the shoggoths bite.
