Tomorrow morning I commence a long-awaited vacation to beautiful Carmel, California. No email, no internet, no technology, just some quality time with the ocean. Well, except for my cell phone, so I can stay in touch with my sweetie. And my iPod, cuz I gotta have tunes. And my new digital camera, to capture the beauty around me. And my Palm Pilot, for addresses and whatnot. And my adoptive android son, who tracked me down after I left him for scrap metal on the side of the road. But other than that - unplugged. Luckily I've been neglecting this site for weeks, so you'll hardly miss me. See? It's really just been an elaborate plan to help ease your pain.
