Yeah, I'm completely out of the loop lately. It's a combination of things; work is busy, home is busy, stuff is going on that I'd rather not post about at this time (if ever) and The Chimpinator is still in office. 

I hope that things will be more loose in the coming weeks, but I make no promises (not that you were asking for one). It's too bad that things are the way they are; this is the most wonderful time of the year--screw Christmas. Late September through the end of October is my time, baby. And I'm just not able to extract any joy from it as of yet.
