I don't think that I have ever slacked this much on my blog before.  Right now every free minute of my life is being consumed by my basement remodel project.  We have been trying to get this done in time for Christmas, and it is looking like it will be a close one.  Actually most of it should be done, but the carpet may not get installed until after Christmas.  I have some video footage of the work in progress, but have not had time to upload it.  I remembered today that I can send an email to posterous and it publishes to my blog so I thought I would send out a quick note and let you all know that I have not fallen off the edge of the Internet.  Once Christmas is over and my basement is in order, I should be finding some more time write.  Hoping that you all have a Merry Christmas and we'll see what is in store for 2010.
