We’re off to New Zealand for a much-needed dose of summer. We’ll be back the first week of January. If you happen to be in that hemisphere, look us up in Golden Bay; we’ll be staying with my folks, under Leetch and Pemberton in the phonebook.

We’ll be pretty internet-deprived (not that that’s a bad thing); last I checked my folks were on dial-up, and the only place I got mobile reception on my last trip home was on top of a hill it almost killed me to climb (it wasn’t worth it for the reception; the view was pretty neat though). I’ve scheduled a few posts so the tumbleweeds don’t pile up too high, but it’s going to be even quieter than usual around here.
