Excuses

Neglect.

Guilty.

I know.

But I have reasons! First (and foremost)-- computer issues. The family desktop computer here is more infected with trojans (yeah, that's plural, and you have no idea) than a Greek hospital. Needless to say, it's down for the count until a collection of computer geeks can crack the case.

However, you'd think it wouldn't be much of a problem with the sheer volume of laptops around here (and I didn't even bring mine).



Current laptop count in this room as I sit typing here-- 3.

Do you think that's pathetic? We're all in the same room instead of spread all over the world like usual, and we still have to Skype each other.

Yeah, definitely pathetic.

But really-- I don't want to spend time on the computer. I want to hang out with people while I can. Thus the no blogging. See?

Time is of the essence, and it's getting shorter.

And it's really just much more of a pain to deal with photos when I don't have my own computer. I have to download them to Mom's computer and keep track of where they are, and then upload them to my blog, and I have no Gimp for editing. Spoiled? Yes.

It's not that I don't love you enough, dear readers --if there are any of you left. Cuz I do! I'm just too lazy to show it right now.

But I'll make it up to you-- really! I'll post lots of great mediocre photos when I'm forced to leave this wonderful spring-like Oregon weather and return to the Michigan cold which will relegate me to my chair by the woodstove-- perfect for editing and uploading photos.
