On Vacation

 As the title suggests, we are on a vacation somewhere out there in the great beyond. We have a general idea of where we might go but no set agenda, my favorite kind of vacation. It is also a non-traditional area of our country to go to on vacation and since I have only driven through the outskirts of the area a handful of times in my life, I would like to fill in the white space of my mental map. This time, unlike other times in the past, I do have a pad device so I might check into your blogs while out and about but I'm not about to type a post into the pad (especially since I don't have any auxiliary keyboard devices) and so my blog will remain dark and shuttered for a time. 

There is war and atrocities being committed in Ukraine. I hope they are resolved during the next 9 or so days that I will be unplugged from the news cycle. It would be nice to come back and know the news is about sillier things, like what one side is sticking it to the other in Congress. Also, because March came in so mildly, we've been getting our nether regions handed to us by mother nature with lots of snow, a handful of tornados and a thermometer with more movement than a yo-yo in a yo-yo contest. Hopefully that works itself out too before I get back.

Until then...
