I know its been more than a month since my last post. But between the start of a new school year and my wife falling prey to a mysterious illness - and one that we are just now starting to figure out what the heck it is - I've been otherwise occupied. Its called Real Life and those of you that have one understand that it is more important than blogging or any other hobby activity. Those of you who don't... well, I feel sorry for you.

  Since things are calming down a bit work-wise, and we have settled into a care routine for my wife, I hope to be more active on the hobby front. First and foremost is my looking forward to this weekend, with a convention being held aboard the USS Texas, and Mal Wright coming in for the day.
