By now, Ralph is winging his way over the ocean heading towards the land of canals and spaghetti, Italy. He has his bags packed, his cell phones rented, and this blog pushed to the back of his mind where it will reside with many other undesirable things like pond scum.
A vacation. Do you ever have a “vacation” that you come back from, rested, relaxed, and ready to return to work? Yea me neither. I am hoping that it will be different for Ralph. See, he is just going with his wife to Italy. We can only hope that he brings her back with him. I guess it depends just how bad the flight actually is. But that is another story.
Over the past year I do believe that I have grown complacent, letting Ralph and Bob, well mostly Ralph, have at this site and run with it. Now It is back to me and the fine work that used to fly from my fingers.
Have a great Vacation Ralph, you deserve it.

I hope Ralph has a good one too. Vacations are great if you do em right; without rush or agendas.
Day four of our vacation and nothing has gone wrong. What’s a coot to do? Nobody told me that you could check your bags in San Francisco and never see them again until you reach Venice. An nobody seemed to care about asking those quetions like why are you traveling. We got a visa stamp in Madrid but Italy just let us right on in.
The only thing bugging me is this strange device in the bathroom. When I figure it out, I’m sure to share it. Might be a curiosity or a rant. The jury is still out.
Justin,
In case I forgot to mention it, I did bring my wife back but she was kicking and screaming. Sacramento pales in comparison to Venice.
