Trying to get back into things

It's been forever since I posted anything here. Partly because I've been busy with a ton of other things, partly because my access to a computer isn't as regular as it used to be.

Hopefully that will change now. Things have settled down at work and at home to the point where I can actually do something besides read other people's posts.
