Spent the past weekend with my father and brother and Amy (or is it Aimee?) in the far north. Brought Elizabeth with us because she would be spending the next few days with Papaw and Nanna (the designated nicknames for her paternal grandparents). We surprised Dad with a Blu-Ray player and The Dark Knight, and for those who may have missed it, I take it back, I was wrong, movies in HD are god damned sexy.

Yup, you can put icons by your comment posts. That not enough? Fine, consider this: soon the photo album will be accessible to registered users only. How ya like them apples?

Seriously, though, man, seriously, let's get serious.

So I wanted to leave the news that I'm engaged as the main news for a while... sheesh, you'd think I was holding kittens hostage. No, the fact is that I've been both busy and lazy, which is an amazing piece of hypocrisy that I suggest you all try out some time.

How have I been busy? Let me count the ways:
