No, I’m not dead

Faithful readers may have been wondering what happened… one minute, I was on vacation; the next, dead air. We finished our vacation (summary: the Naval Aviation Museum is still great, the New Orleans sun felt terrific, and there’s a wonderful po-boy place called Radosta’s that will be a touchstone of every future NO trip I take). Then we came home, celebrated Easter, and packed Arlene off (with the usual suspects) to the American Quilting Society annual convention. In the meantime, I’m taking the boys to fun places (the eye doctor, the grocery store) and their usual events (baseball, primary activity, school, and so on). That’s cut into my blog time pretty severely, since I now work when the baby’s asleep.
I did manage to snag a new home theater system, which has greatly improved the feel of the Xbox and the few movies I’ve had time to watch. It’s not nearly as fancy as the system I wanted, but it’s a good starter, and the price was right. It’s really hard not to crank up the volume on Halo when the kids are asleep, though.
