Home again, home again, jiggety-jig!

Just a quick to post to inform my dear readers that I am safely home.

Once in the air Monday night my next worry was how my old Honda Insight would run after sitting in a hotel parking lot for a month but I needn’t have been concerned. She performed like a champ. In fact she nearly hit 70mpg over the 860 mile road trip home.

My apartment also did not seem to miss me. The cable box, having been unplugged for so long decided that I was not authorized to watch the Netherlands-Argentina semifinal but I got that sorted out and unpacked while they played to a scoreless draw and Argentina advanced to the final against Germany.

Tomorrow: back to work.
