Yes, I am ignoring you all.

Working on a new site which I'll make the world privvy to in the near future.

Ooooh! Secrecy!

I have a bowl full of linguini and a PBS special on the Andrea Doria.

Life is good.

For those of you curious as to why we'd go to Rimbey for a weekend... well.. It was for a wedding.

I've been looking at that entry for at least a week thinking, I really should update that. But there's not much to say.

It's mothers day this weekend,...
