So for those of you playing along at home, I’m back in the Midwestern Industrial Hub that I call home at the moment. I had a good vacation — three weeks, but it seemed much, much longer, and in the best possible ways.
Still, there are certain things to be said about home. I don’t have to connive to find a place to sleep tonight, for instance. I have a reasonably stable, rather fast internet connection, allowing me to empty my mail server of the 300+ messages that have accumulated since Wednesday morning. And I have a kitchen, although there isn’t a whole lot of, well, food in it at the moment.
