CHECKING IN

I was away for a few days in Florida this past week so for those who sent emails thinking I dropped off the face of the earth...no, I did not. Just the English speaking part of the earth. Oh my God, I understand little Havana and the cultural influences in different parts of the country, but it STILL pisses me off when I'm in Miami airport and the very first thing I hear is a p.a. announcement in Spanish. I remember living in Southern California for awhile, and as a white guy in my neighborhood I was a minority. So Mexican was my neighborhood that you walked into the post office and they had these scales to weigh your packages yourself to figure out postage, and the default setting was in Spanish. You actually had to press some buttons to put it INTO ENGLISH. Ah well.
Missed my kids terribly for the few days I was gone. I'll be here this week but next weekend I'll be out of state for about a month. Just pleasure. Taking my kids to an island on the Gulf Coast. March weather here still stinks, and while I have the time off to do it it'll be nice to play with them on the beach every day. Won't get an opportunity like this again so I'm taking advantage of the time. Even though I won't be checking in here much at all for the month of March, if I get some show news that I can actually share I promise I will! '09 is coming. I hope you'll remember us.
