Where've I been?

This week was utterly insane. I am exhausted. I can't really get into what it's all about, but I think future generations will thank us. (They'd damn well better, the ingrates!) A major project without about 17 moving parts, 3 legal theories, a court-imposed deadline and an annoying squeak nobody could find. Consumed the entire week. And now, in the face of this storm moving up the coast, I'm heading off on vacation (burglars take note). Looks like it's just going to keep tracking further east, so the tail should be even milder than they're predicting. The whole week looks pretty iffy for our objective of biking, canoeing, and beaching, but whaddaya gonna do? Gotta get out there and hope it works out. If we get too wet, we come home. Doubt I'll be able (or will want) to post while away, but I promise to come back with renewed pith and scathing stories of tourists in baggy shorts and sandals.
