Normally when I'm absent (not absent minded, just absent) from the blog world for a while it's because the speed of life (similar to the speed of light but different) has started spinning recklessly out of control and is tossing me around like a rag doll. I'll be honest that my most recent absence started there but was furthered by a much more delightful turn of events. I got home this morning at 2 am after spending the last 9 days on vacation with my family in Mexico.

Three words stand out in that last sentence.

Vacation.

Family.

Mexico.

Each deserving of it's own post.

And pictures.

They're coming.

I promise.
