I'm alive

It's been a bit since I've talked on the blog, but I wanted to stop in and say all is doing fairly well. There is still chaos swirling around my head, and issues with my parents and infidelity, and dishonesty et al. But, I am thrusting my head above the waters and breathing on my own here. I'm about ready to head out of town for the rest of the month, on trips for business and pleasure. First off to the San Diego Comic Con, which is both pleasure (yay comics!) and business (I'm writing a comic). I then fly from there to Portland, OR, where I attend the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, which is business (work) and pleasure (Yay, open source!). So, that's a lot of time away from the house, which is good and bad. I will miss Eli, though this morning he was playing with my least favorite toy of all times -- the bumble ball. I freaking hate this thing. It's noisy, it is annoying and Eli loves it sooooo much that I can never get him to turn it off after he's turned it on.

But anyhow, just wanted to drop in and give the brief scoop. I'll be trying to blog every day as I am away, to give you updates to my trip(s). I will bring my digital camera, so maybe I'll pepper the blog with some groovy online pics too!
