Where were you? Some pit threads would probably have enjoyed your input.

Hey, me too!  
'Course, I was gone less than a week, so it’s entirely possible I wasn’t missed in the least…

Where was I? Let’s see… My Uncle Sam had me over for a visit for a year. I was able to post for some of that and then not so much. Then when I got home we were preparing to move and then we did. I told my wife if she ever divorces me I’m staying in the basement. I will never move again. Ever. Of course I didn’t get much of a chance to post then. After the move to the wilderness it took a few weeks to get our internet connection. They only have one way cable here and no DSL. I never heard of one way cable. Now it’s working reasonably well. So the good news is, I’m back. The bad news? Still no points in the death pool.
