The reason for the lack of updates (with the exception of the pre-loaded “Friday Thingy” features is that on July 11 we flew to Billings Montana to attend a wedding.  Since we were already in the neighborhood we decided to spend most of the following week in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.  The first few posts will be on my culture shock as we interacted with some of the local residents, some touring we did in the Billings area, maybe a restaurant review, and my commentary on the hotel where we stayed.  We returned to the bay area late on July 17.

These are posts you’re not going to want to miss, and they’re brought to you by me.  Because I don’t have enough of a readership to interest sponsors.
