Team, I'll be away on vacation, celebrating both summer and the freedoms of our country, with my family from 29 Jun - 07 Jul.  Bob has the con while I'm away.  All the best for a safe and happy Independence Day!

Away for a long weekend with the family.  Back late Monday night.  Clean up the mess and restock my bar before I get back.  USA2 has the Con while I'm gone.

I'll be away (out of country) on vacation from 2/15-2/23. I won't have a computer, and am not totally sure about whether or not email will come through on the phone. Bob will have the helm while I'm away.

Only about 20% certain, but it's possible that I'll also be leaving a few hours after I get back for international business travel on 2/24, returning 3/3.  I should have a computer and email for that trip.  Will advise IF that becomes a reality.

It became a reality.  I have 4 hours and 53 minutes between the time I land from vacation until the first leg of my business trip takes off....  (Land 12:37am, Depart 5:30am!!)  Let's see....  

08 minutes to taxi to gate
30 minutes to get bags
30 minutes to get to car
45 minutes home
60 minutes to get sleeping kids from car to bed, move luggage from car to house, and pick up the suitcase for the trip
45 minutes to airport
15 minutes to park
30 minutes through security to gate
30 minutes board before flight leaves
------------------------------------------
4:53

That leaves me a whopping ZERO minutes slack time or time to sleep in the terminal....  Yeah, cool....   Ugh!

Headed out to Asia again.  Leave Sat 3/22, return either 3/31, 3/30 or 3/29.  Trying to make it back for CTP, but that will be a stretch, I'm afraid.  Bob will be at the bar serving drinks to the staff while I'm away.  Tip him well.

Team USA, I'll be away from 18-27 July.  I'll have some internet access on my phone, but won't be around my computer.  Tom's at the helm.  Try to do a better job cleaning after yourselves this time....  I don't know what the hell went on in the offices when I was away 2 weeks ago, but the animal control officer warned about the toxicity in goat droppings and said the call to remove the camels was a bit over the top!

Team USA, I'll be away on vacation with the family, swimming with dolphins in Florida, from 28 Dec - 05 Jan.  I'll have some internet access on my phone, but won't be around a computer.  Tom will be at the helm.  

I appreciate the fact that Animal Welfare didn't have to get called in this time after my last vacation in July.  But I was really disturbed by the alleged lack-of-clothing-spiked-eggnog-induced-poses that some of you performed during my winter vacation last year.  Let's just say that the security footage of the ones -- especially the ones in my office, ahem -- was "illuminating"....  Try and keep it decent.  You never know when one of our security guards will be posting that footage online.....

Be good to Tom; I want him coherent and not in a straight jacket (again) when I get back.

My best wishes to you all for a safe, healthy and happy holiday season!
