Heading off to Houston for a week of work this afternoon with some relaxing weekends before and after. I would say that I won't be able to post as much as normal, but as I've been such a delinquent in writing lately, you probably won't notice any change.
Houston in August? I know, but considering the location alternatives were Miami, Madrid or Trinidad, none were that cool!
