Programming Note: Vacation!

Posted January 21, 2009, 11:34 p.m.

From today until February 1, I will be packing, unpacking, and/or traveling and posting will be very light (if they occur at all). Melissa and I will be joining my family for a reunion cruise to the Caribbean and my Internet access will likely be sporadic at-best.

I’m sure we’ll have a blast though. It’ll be my first time to the Caribbean, including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas, so I’m really looking forward to it. I’ll try to at least write a little now and then, even if I can’t post it until I get back.

As always, I’m sure you’ll be able to find plenty of other things to read while I’m gone. My links page might be a good place to start.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.
