I'm back... for real this time.

Gee, doesn't this sound familiar? Again, I apologize for disappearing over the past few months. I've been pretty busy - as usual - and once I get into a rhythm of not posting, it is hard to break it. I kept looking for the "perfect" opportunity to get the blog rolling again, and it finally arrived two weeks ago when I went on a road trip to Minneapolis for a 3-day weekend. Anyway, if anyone out there is still reading this damn thing, I promise you a nice long post about my trip in the next 24 hours...
