Happy Saturday morning! I'm writing from the basement of my parent's home once again, having flown in from Virginia on Monday. It's pretty nice to be home, especially considering I'm here for our annual family week at the lake. Of course, I've been attending a high volume of meetings and get togethers in the few days I've been here, soundly reaffirming my theory that the only thing you need to do to make yourself popular is to make yourself scarce. :p

Posting will be pretty slim through next week as I'm not sure how much access I'll have in McCall, let alone whether I'll be able to drag myself from the lake. ;) One quick site note: I've had to finally give in and make commenters authenticate themselves. I apologize for this extra step, but it's my understanding that you only have to fill out a quick form once and you're good to go. I've just been inundated with spam comments and I can't take it anymore!
