So before the snarking begins (what are you on a montly schedule now?) Let us repudiate all claims of laziness and begin by stating that July was a very busy month. Where June seemed to whizz by, July, well, it was packed with all manner of things. There was a holiday in there somewhere (something about being patriotic and looking at exploding substances in the sky), along with one of those things called a business trip, which then required recuperation, and some sailing, and some trips to Napa (and oh, maybe a vintner's dinner or something like that). So as you can see, it has been veddy, veddy busy people.
But hey, we aim to please and so we're back (hopefully with the post frequency increasing, all for the benefit of the flies and crickets out there who are faithfully reading this blog).
