Jeez. OK. Sorry.

So, as many of you have pointed out, we've been absent for a while. Sorry. We knew coming into late July that the travel would be crazy. Turns out, we were right.
Work took us seperately to San Bernardino, San Diego, Boston, Chicago, and Washington DC. over the past 5 weeks. It wasn't all bad. I ended up AAdvantage Gold member.
More importantly, this allowed us to see many of our closest friends and family. I saw Sally and Tim and Craig and Wendi in San Diego. Both Teri and I were able to seperately visit the Yoders on Cape Cod.
I finally met Unborn Yoder's soon to be friend Evie Schomp. It had been over a year since I saw Nate and Margo, but they are each doing great. Their daughter Evie and I bonded over an afternoon of work, while Margo gave me helpful hints on what to expect next winter and spring. In addition, I was able to see Keith and Dulari as well as Manne. Keith and Dulari are nearly new home owners and looking for a place in Providence. Dulari's new job as Development Director of Summerbridge should sustain Keith's academic pursuits and Harvard bills for the next few years. Meanwhile, Manne continues to live the good life across the street from Fenway, playing volleyball and dominating fantasy sports.
Teri spent three weeks living pregnant on a bus. Event 360's yearly tour of Breast Cancer 3Days started up in July and Teri was there to make sure her programs got off the ground. The Tour, as you all know, is where Teri and I met and still houses many of our closest friends. Even though the hours are long and unforgiving (especially when you are pregnant), getting paid to hang with 30 friends you only see a couple weeks a year is well worth it. The bonus for this tour was that it enabled Teri to also visit the Yoders on Cape Cod. And by chance, Teri's traveling path and mine crossed for an afternoon in Chicago.
We are finally back to our construction site house for another 7 days. That's right! In one week we'll be living the good life with elves and tall beautiful people, in Iceland.
Hvenaer fer flugvelin kemur?

(Editor's Note: Dulari is the Big Cheese Executive Director. Not a measly Development Director.)

So...will the Yo(ders)' blog be the one I start to read? Hmmm, maybe, but for the record, Dulari's job title is Executive Director, she's the head hancho!
