On the Road Again (Literally)
By the time you read this, we’ll be deep into a roughly 3k mile roadtrip. The good news is that the bulk of the driving is packed into the first and last couple of days. As such, we’ll be able to recover (and fish, swim, etc.) in between. The better news is that I’ve lined up a number of great guest posts to fill the gaps in my absence.
While I’m hoping to pop in from time to time, don’t be surprised if I’m slow to respond to comments, and please don’t be offended if I don’t answer your e-mails promptly. A guy’s just gotta kick back and relax sometimes. Oh, and thanks to everyone that contributed a guest post — it’s very much appreciated!

Just a note.. people have had their houses vandalized /burglarized when posting their vacation status on pages like twitter etc.
I know your readers on your blog wouldn’t do that, but if you’re posting it on twitter and you have lots of followers just be aware that in todays society people use simple things like this against you (and it’s pathetic).
Have a great vacation and enjoy the time with your family (it’s the most important thing we have in the world).
