MIA For a Few Days...

So I've been gone and haven't posted in about 10 days...that is my longest break in years I believe.  Reasons?  Well a three day trip to NYC followed by an absolutely awful stomach bug that left me feeling like I go run over by a truck for more than three days followed by trying to make up for time missed at work all conspired to leave me blog post-less.

Never fear however...I will try and pick up the pace going forward...
