I've been swamped the past few days. Selling the Chicago house this week. Looking around here for a new one to buy. Trying to get enough work done to earn my keep.

And now I'm going to be flying off to the wild blue yonder (aka Chicago) where I'm helping Sarah move, getting closure on the house, and otherwise doing things that mean my connectivity may be a bit spotty until next week.

I decided (after much deliberation) that I'm not even bringing my laptop on this journey. Shocking, I know. It's the first time in probably seven years that I've traveled without one. But I decided I really could get along with a good old fashioned notebook with paper this time.

As long as I can check e-mail at Sarah's house once or twice.
