OK I’ve been bad about updating, sorry! However the last little bit has been for relatively good reason … we had some sort of mini tornado / large microburst hit the neighborhood a week or so back now and it did a number on our house as it knocked the tree in the backyard down and took out some stuff with it (namely every cable that connects to the house as a starter). Mucho thanks to my dinner guests for the evening Margaret and Steve who helped me first get through the first night without going nuts and then chipping in with massive amounts of labor to help me clear the tree from both our house and the neighbors, as well as reconstructing the fence enough to keep Sasha from running away. Thanks guys!

We were without power for 4 days, all that time I was at least able to use the generator I’ve had for years now that was bought and never used because we kept getting power back right before we’d actually go and fire it up. This time it was greatly appreciated!

To date the only issue is no cable still (and therefore no internet). I’m getting around the internet issue by using my broadband card on my laptop. At least that keeps me in touch with the outside world

I’ll of course have photos online as soon as the official photographer of the MAJOR damage hooks me up with the pictures she took (hint hint)

OK back home safe and sound and can report that people, don’t take your kids to Vegas ok?!? Got in a little drinking and gambling and in general a getaway from the stressful things. Still was good to get back to the things that are great and make me happy. Yeah!

FANTASTIC night on Monday as the house was rocking …

Coming up on the Vegas road trip at the end of this week. I’ll miss a couple of things this weekend to do the trip but everyone should get in a Vegas trip in their life I figure. Will fill all in when we’re back!
