Well, I'm back.

I drove 2985.7 miles in 125 hours. That's an average speed of 23.89 mph, waking, sleeping or eating. Whatever. I'm toast.

I bade farewell to a dear aunt, who was, at times, like a second mom to me when I was growing up. And I did get to renew an acquaintance with my cousins in Florida that had long been allowed to lapse.

To stay awake, I purchased an unabridged audio edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion. I'd never really been able to wade through that one in print: it's a tough read. But on audio it's an entirely different experience. Some things are meant to be read aloud, and this is one of them. It's a total of 16 hours of tape, and I managed to listen to it twice.

I've got a lot of mail (175+, not counting junque and spam) and a lot of news to catch up on - it was a busy week indeed. But no lambs dropped while I was away - glad I didn't miss that! Time to get to reading...

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
