An ever so brief update

Apologies to those who I've been ignoring for the past week (it's a long list). Things got out of hand with work, evening cub scout camp and a long list of weekend activities.

They culminated this morning with a trip to the US Consulate in Frankfurt (280 mi round trip) to pick up a new passport.

On a sidenote, my work tempo resulted in an interesting finding. It's been 5 days since I've logged into facebook and I haven't experienced any withdrawal symptoms.

Visiting the US Consulate was on par with a trip to the dentist. On the "annoyance" scale, this puts it far below a trip to the DMV but slightly above a service call from my German telephone provider.

We're off for the rest of the week. I'll be using up the last of my vacation helping the kids bid adieu to summer. School starts next week.

Piper has photos to post but I don't think I'll have time to upload them until next week.

I am considering disabling the comments capability for the blog. What say you?

Because I get tired of deleting the spam comments with advertising & porn links.

you do a good job of removing them quickly. I've only seen the ones from China.

Ah the chaos of family life. How will you wrap up the summer? I'm waiting to be envious.
