It’s been a while since I flipped my page, and much to my surprise, I’ve had a few people ask me if I’m still alive and well.

So, for all of you out there in Radio[User]-land, I am still alive and well; it’s been an intensive summer of vacationing, and I have a ton of pictures to edit and post. But the summer is not over, and neither are the vacations, and I’ll be without Internet access again for another few days. Once I return, I’ll be dealing with a pile of spam (I took a brief work break last week; 61% of the e-mail waiting for me at work was spam) and catching up on work before I can get to the fun stuff.

I expect to be back to regular updates next week. But then it’ll be time to go to Worldcon — no sense in getting back to work too strenuously with a three-day weekend available!

Jeffrey’s spent the past three weeks at West Valley College’s summer “College for Kids” program; today was the last day. He seems to have enjoyed it, though “Kids and Money” was his least favorite class — one day he complained that they’d spent the hour paying bills! Wait till he gets older….

But for now, he’s done with college. It’s a shame he didn’t qualify for the academic discount program for software that’s offered to matriculated students at West Valley — they have some awfully good prices. None for Game Boy games, though, so he probably doesn’t mind missing out.

Shabbat Shalom!
