I guess I should start by addressing a few of the questions that I received over the last week…
Yes, I am still alive. I have not been kidnapped. I was not abducted by aliens. I did not enter the witness protection program. I have not quit blogging. I am not selling this blog. I did not have sex with that woman. I did not inhale. And I am not having a sex change operation. There, that should cover just about everything. 
Here’s what really happened. As you know, some friends and I took a little vacation to Los Angeles last weekend to see a couple of Dodger games and do some sightseeing around Hollywood. We had a great time and got to see two great baseball games, ate some wonderful food, saw the Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Mann’s Chinese Theater, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, etc.
Everything went perfectly until… the trip home. Our flight out of L.A. was delayed and when we did get in the air, we had to fly around some bad weather which meant there wasn’t enough time to make our connection when we landed in Dallas. And since we were on the last flight of the day, we had to spend the night in Dallas in a really crappy hotel. I won’t go into the boring details here but let’s just say that customer service does not seem to be a very high priority with American Airlines and they will not be getting anymore of our money… ever.
So, I get back to the office a day late to find that I am swamped with work and not feeling very well all of a sudden. I tried to blog at night but just couldn’t do it. I was suffering from a severe lack of focus and decided that I needed a blogging vacation after my vacation. 
So here we are… it was busy week but things are caught up again and I should be back to a normal schedule.
Can we just pretend last week never happened?

Vacations are a very important thing and it is nice to be able to take the vacation after the vacation to recoup. I am sure your blog will benefit from your RnR.
Welcome back, David. Sorry to hear about the trip back, that sucks.
Glad to hear that you weren’t kidnapped by aliens….hehe
welcome back ^_^
*cracks whip*
now get on with the blogging!
Hey David, glad you’re doing good, sounds like you had fun while you were in L.A.!
Welcome back! I’d say crack the whip but someone beat me to it. I was curious as well what was happening.
Glad all is well

Nice to see you back, I was beginning to question if the aliens had found us
You should have asked someone to quess blog for you – look at the decrease on the Alexa Ranking
I bet you lost some readers by this…but at least you’re back now
David,
Sorry to hear about your traveling troubles. I’ve experienced those before and it’s no fun. Glad to hear that you’re back.
LOL, sounds like one hell of a week, well as long as your ok, last week, what last week!

Who is this? just kidding!! Of course we are glad you’re back!!
Well atleast you got a blog post out of it right? :c) Good to hear you are alright!
I stayed in a crappy hotel the first night I got into Seattle (I still live here in the NorthWest). It was gross, bottles under the bed and cigarette holes in the sheets. It was nasty, but we were so tired the night before we didn’t notice any of that stuff. Plus the bathroom was shared with your neighbor. It would be one thing if it was shared down the hall or something, but the rooms were attached through the bloody bathroom and the only thing stopping them from coming in was one of those tiny little hook things, like something you’d use to stop your cat from opening a gate. Anyhow, we got a interesting story out of it and I always pull it out of my hat when people say they stayed at a bad hotel, because I really did stay at a terrible one!
Good to have you back David. And yes we all did miss you. It was nice hearing from you about your holiday experience. Holidays are fun…..
I need a holiday toooo.
Glad to have you back, David. I was beginning to fear that yet another quality blog had bitten the dust!
