I'm sorry to have been away from the Advocate website this past week - I've had some computer and Internet issues that have left me unable to post. Oh, the humanity!
As addicted as I am to the 'net and things like Twitter, Facebook and blogging this has been difficult! I've got lots to catch up on, so look for a post sometime this week from me.
In the meantime, I'd like to brag:

My recent brush with fame!
That's me with fellow aviation enthusiast (did you know I am an aviation enthusiast?) James Fallows, who is also an excellent journalist and writer.

May 14, 2009 at 12:07 a.m.I was started to wonder what had happened to you....glad you're back!
