Back... sort of

There is nothing like going away on a business trip, leading directly into a holiday weekend, and coming back to 800 unread e-mails and 600 articles in my google reader. I have lots to report about my trip, some exciting places I visited, lots of food, and some really interesting cultural differences that I found intriguing. The fourth of July was great, one of the best I remember.

But for now, if you are one of the 800 awaiting my reply, please give me a day or two before you hunt me down.
