I’ve been absent from this page for the past few days because I’ve been preparing to depart for New Orleans, Louisiana where I’ll be spending the next 90 days, at a minimum, performing the duties that entail what I call my “day job.”

In a little less than 2 hours from now Cindy will drop me off at the airport and then my flight leaves a little less than 2 hours after that. This will be the longest period of time that we have ever been apart from each other, so we’ve been spending as much time together over the past 4 days as we could, in between packing, errands, etc.

In fact, on Saturday we went to a Renaissance Faire up in Howey-in-the-Hills and hopefully I can get the pictures I took there uploaded this evening sometime, once I get settled in my hotel room.
