Back to the daily grind

So I got back last night from my trip, and I'm happy to report the shiny new laptop performed quite well. It doesn't have the greatest battery life and it's a bit too heavy to lug around everywhere, but other than that I have no complaints. (By the way, a big thumbs down to the Dallas/Fort Worth airport, where the WiFi hotspots are controlled by a pay service which I will not give free advertising to, and a big thumbs up to the Portland airport, where access is free. And a very hearty thanks to all of you who leave your home wireless networks unsecured.)

Of course, 10 days away at the beginning of December means I'm woefully behind on my cards and gift-shopping. To paraphrase a line from D.L. Hughley (I think), you can expect them anytime you want; when they'll actually get to you is a different story.

But many thanks to those of you I saw during the trip, when I ate well, drank well and had an all-around outstanding time. I promise to get to everybody else soon.
