Something UnBloggable has happened, and it means I will be away from here for who knows how long.  End result of said incident: Manly ended up needing surgery today to repair several broken bones and will be off his feet for a while.  Obviously he’s in a lot of pain, but nothing life-threatening.  I personally was not involved and am just dealing with the stress of this on about 3 hours’ sleep spread out over the last 36 hours.  Of course, this had to happen the day before I start my new job, so there’s no telling how this will all play out.  I’m 80% confident that everything will turn out fine in the end, but I’m going to be wrangling with this Incident for at least six weeks. 

So please say a little prayer for us and be patient — I’ll be back eventually. 

Leaving for work for a few days; I’ll be back here on Thursday.  I’m staying with a friend who only has dial-up (I know!  It’s like being back in the dark ages ), so I won’t have internet access until I get home.

WAITT members, I am planning on being at dinner on Wednesday night, but I’m driving  back from B’ham that night so I may be a little late.  If I’m not there by 6:00, go ahead and start without me. 

Lastly, I decided that I’m going to start updating the header photo every little while with a new picture.  When I have time, I’m going to update the flickr set so y’all can see my efforts at mastering the digital camera.  The pic that’s up there now is some of the landscaping that’s still blooming at work. 

Be good, help yourself to the liquor cabinet, and don’t feed the trolls.  I’ll be home soon!
