That’s right. I’m back. I finally nailed myself down to a design (after about 30 that are sitting in the Layout Graveyard waiting for a proper burial), I followed it through, learned some new tricks along the way, and am ready to dish up some hot, steaming portions of regular posts… Just as soon as I get back from vacation.

That’s right. It’s time for our annual vacation to the north. We’re hitting Chicago and Milwaukee this week as part of the Lynn/Samuelson Annual Arctic Pilgrimage (LAAP (Lynn/Samuelson Annual Polar Pilgrimage (LAPP) works just as well)). We’re kicking off the dust of this small town, and going to the big city to visit restaurants that don’t serve us our “gourmet” pizza on a slab of cardboard torn to the size of the pizza because they “haven’t got around to buying pizza pans yet;” galleries where the artists don’t include their DNA in the paint; and shops that don’t have the word “Mart” in their name.

That’s right. Come back soon, because I have some things planned for the site, that I may actually see through for a while. Oh, and drop me a line if there seem to be some bugs in the way you are viewing this page (i.e. logos are askew, links aren’t working, you computer is broken, you’re still using Internet Explorer, etc.)
