Blog Protection Authorities on the way

Poor, poor neglected blog. Alas two weeks have passed without a single post, leaving you the internet equivalent of cold, hungry, and shivering in a dark corner of an abandoned warehouse having only the dim glow of a hanging lightbulb for warmth. Will you ever forgive me? We can get counseling, I promise. I promise to be a better Blogger, I'll be here EVERY day now, I really will....

BUT, the cold hard truth is that the last two weeks have been a sheer and utter whirlwind of activity and work and parents and trips and incredible, almost entirely, good times (oh work of course never ceased, providing me with multiple challenges in directing energy away from anger and frustration to results. AHhhh there's that positive thinking Bill employs so often). But it really was the best of times, good, memories-for-a-lifetime times.

The biggest, best, most deserving shout-out undoubtedly goes to the GBF's and GP's fam in Porto, without whom our Hammer Whacking Time at Sao Joao would have been NOTHING as it was. WE LOVE YOU GUYS. Unforgettable, and hopefully the first of many.

Paris was Paris. Beautiful and pretentious and as Paris as Paris can be. Been there, done that, my dad has the tacky t-shirt.

And now, life is back to normal, so full attention can be paid to the chaos and turmoil of the workplace. One huge, insane, ulcer-causing task was FINALLY (I PRAY FINALLY) completed today. SWEET ONION CHUTNEY.

And now, the future will bring changes. Roommate X is off and away embarking on a new life which will surely affect mine, somehow. BH90210, who may just be ready to be brought to the next level, is off and away in Oz, and missed. New people on the horizon, and....BRAZIL IN 47 DAYS!!!! AND THE HBOMB IS COMING!! OH so much to tell there. No time now.

But, dear Blog, count on my to be back for good. I've missed you! Right now work ie the 6th circle of HELL is calling and one must go.

A bien tot.
