On my 3 months away...

I am fully aware that a stale Web site is equal to a dead Web site, with blogs being of particular importance in the freshness category. Yet, I still managed to not post anything for almost three months to the day. Why is that? Well, there has been a lot going on.

I moved into a new house on March 23, so that meant packing up the computer a day or two before then and unpacking it I forget how many days later. Moving could have gone smoother, but for the mistakes that I made: not starting packing far enough in advance, not paying someone to pack up stuff like dishes and books, and not letting the movers take more stuff (I figured I could handle a bit by myself since it was only 4 miles).

Things were made a bit more complicated by a surprise wedding shower for Karen on March 25. This entailed receiving a lot of stuff. Which, on top of my moving in, made the house a mess of boxes. Plus, if I had known what she (we, really) would have been getting, I wouldn't have moved some of the stuff that I did move.

Then I crazily decided to pick this year as the first year that I would prepare my taxes myself. While TurboTax is convenient for filling out the forms, they rip you off by not letting you e-file for free when you buy the CD. Bastards.

Karen and I got married in Las Vegas on April 22, with a short honeymoon there as well. Wonderful time. Pictures to be posted, possibly someday.

This was following by getting Karen and Victoria moved into the house (still an ongoing process).

Then came my sister's wedding in Florida on May 20. Followed by a business trip to Silicon Valley after Memorial Day. And then our housewarming/wedding party here at the house on June 3.

To say that I've been "crazy busy" (to borrow a phrase) is a vast understatement. Now back to the semi-irregular posting schedule.
