I'm not dead

Just thought I'd pop in and let everyone know that while I've been gone from my GW computer longer than I expected, I'm still here and I'll be back soon. My family has had about a million special occasions that I feel obliged to travel too in the past week or two. Multiple birthdays and weddings and what-not. I'm actually sluffing a wedding right now so I can catch up on some stuff (including this). You'd think my family would have the courtesy to spread these things through the year, but no, they all have to happen in the same two weeks...

Aren't families great like that. We have had a lot of family stuff too, I just blow more of it off I guess. J/K Thankfully my family stuff is pretty local.
