So, it's been a good, oh, 4 months since this site has seen ANY activity.  Oops.  It will be interesting to see if anyone still subscribes to this poor excuse for a blog.

My wife and I left for 2 weeks in Italy in early May and you haven't heard from me since.  I had grandiose visions of posts such as "Top 10 Coolest/Lamest things about Italy" and some live trip-blogging.  After just a few hours in Vernazza, I decided I was having too much fun to waste time surfing the web while in Italy.  And I haven't posted since.

There's another reason for the lack of posting; I've been too incompetent (and lazy) to figure out why I haven't even been able to log into my own blog site since July.  You see, I re-imaged this machine, and in hoping to secure the server, I ran IIS Lockdown, which inadvertently ran URLScan, effectively blocking any scripting from running on my server.  Oops.  No wonder I couldn't do much of anything.  I finally got around to a little investigation and everything is running fine now.

A lot of life change in the past few months - hope to blog a little more often in the near future with more details!
