Yes, I Am Here

I am back from the coast. We had a terrific time, the place we stayed at was terrific (and I'm not going to share with you where until I can make sure I get it reserved for next year), weather was great (first time I've been to the coast and seen the sun for three straight days), and it was really hard coming back and seeing that I had 950 unread messages between all the e-mail accounts I have to check (not counting the well over 1200 unread RSS feed items that are also in my RSS reader). I finally made my way through most of it and can finally think straight again.

And the best part about the trip? There was no cell phone reception at the place I was staying (was a few miles south of Newport, off the beaten path). So I could honestly completely ignore my cell phone, keep the computer in the bag, and relax. I need more weekends like that.

Welcome back, Jake, and I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. Never could see the appeal of the Oregon coast myself -- I like oceans you can swim in without wearing a wetsuit.

I'm jealous. That sounds absolutely perfect. Did you stay in a private vacation home? We've been looking and have found a few that look like great hideaways, right on the coastline.

And to have sun three days in a row - you were doubly fortunate!

Hehe...yes, computers are bad, Cheryl.

Fixed.
