OK, it has been a while, I'm sure that the few reader I have left are wondering what happened to me.
1. I got a new job. I left HP (I was still a contractor after 3.5 years) and just started as a contractor for another company. So, new job, new toys. I have a lot of posts planned about the things I've found.
2. Summer. Things happen. Air conditioners break (right when it hit 110 in the valley, a month ago, will be replaced next week -- been a month with no AC)
3. Family Reunion. All the dutch boys and girls headed up north (except for my Canadian relatives, they went south) to Coeur D'Alane, ID to play all our dutch games, dutch food, dutch stuff, dutch etc.
4. Summer projects....here was a big one.
