Hi Joan and Jan...thanks for your nice comments. As I said, I'm going to still be around now and then.
I'm writing travel guides (for Germany at the moment...none for England, unfortunately) right now, which is an interesting, but very time-consuming project. It's been a great learning experience, but then again, I get something out of all the writing that I do.
Also, we're going to be doing a lot of traveling this year (we move back to the States in December) and with the impending move...things are going to start getting very hectic very soon. Something had to give. Alas, it was this.
See you around.
