The internet is out at the office, so what do I do?

Write a blog post!

Thanksgiving came and went with nary a mention (Happy Thanksgiving!), and Scott & Sharon spent the weekend (with Drew & April spending a couple of days as well), also with nary a mention.  It was awesome having them all in town, and reminded me why I like having friends and knowing people.

Now I'm in New York, where it's in the 50's and cloudy, but at least they have Dunkin Donuts.  I forgot to get one yesterday until I was walking home from the office sometime after 8, but it was still tasty.  Might have to go get another this afternoon.  I'm here for a couple more days yet, but if the internet doesn't come back soon, I may just change my flight and go home because I'm way too tired to not be working.

I know it's been awhile.  I'd apologize, but it'd be ridiculous. I was doing that thing where I wanted to update, but there was so much to talk about that I ended up failing because I didn't want to spend the time. So, what I'm going to do is write a couple of posts over the next few days and try to catch up that way.

I drove across the country, saw a bunch of friends and family, did a little work, spent a lot of money, threw a Halloween party and generally caused all manner of mayhem and destruction in the lives of everyone I touched.  I'm like the plague that way.  I've also failed to fix a slide projector, managed to fix a lighter socket, gotten shirts made for PCW, done two (small) gigs for same, and who knows what all else.  It's been a challenge.  I'm sure I'll update about more than just that, but that's a good start.

Oh, and I'm looking for Aikido schools to try.  We'll see how that goes.  I figure I'll do it for November and December and if I don't actually participate, I'll start 2012 having at least given it a shot.  Larger Grand Canyon pic after the break.
