At last, he returns!!

So allow me to start off by apologizing to anyone who has read my blog in the past. I have been a negligent blogger since I returned from NYC, and for that I apologize. I wish I could say that it is because I have been so exceptionally busy that I just didn't have time to do it...sadly, I have just not been in the mood to sit down and write anything. But enough about that, because I am back and that is all that matters!!

I leave tomorrow morning for a trip to Tampa, FL for work. I will be down there for the next four days and will be flying back up on Tuesday afternoon. For anyone who has known me for any period of time over the past 10 years or so, you know that I have absolutely hated to fly to this point in my life. I have thought a great deal about this, and I am pretty sure that it has to do with the loss of control that accompanies getting on a plane. That being said, I have decided to take a little control back and I am going to do my level best to not be frightened like a little girl tomorrow and Tuesday (no offense intended to little girls, of course). As a small aside, should the unlikely happen and my plane crash, I have instructed my family to have the following tombstone created:


I know that it is horribly irreverent, but it just kind of struck me as funny and I think really summed up my attitude in life.

Not much else to say right now, but if anything crazy happens while in Tampa, I will certainly let you know about it!!
