I won’t dwell on past absence, but only stop by my virtual placeholder a moment to announce my departure to Italy for a replenishing vacation. Will be staying near the Borghese Gardens in Roma for a few days then off to enjoy some monumental quiet, medieval style in nearby Toffia.

Heading out to Montana for 10 days. Looking forward to some hiking, 4-wheelin, cook-outs and laying in the cool (fire ant-less) grass.
Adios, triple-digit Dallas!

Apologies. Upon my return there was some corporate upheaval and many personal adjustments… (why is it so quiet and where did all the monkeys go and why can’t my body process all this processed food?) anywho….tale number one, in no particular order…
