Blog, Interrupted.

I suppose when one is informed by two Top Tier FriendsTM* that his blog has not been updated in "over a month!", it should be taken as a sign of dereliction of duty.  So to the two of you, thanks for the prodding, and my apologies for the lack of updates.

Work has been slightly insane, with a fairly substantial increase in travel and a tremendous amount of new things to learn about engines, chemistry, mechanics, business, negotiations, etc.  I have been under a pile of work pretty much since January 1, and there are no signs of it evening out for a while.  I will, however, make an effort to be more diligent with my blogging.

KB has also had her share of travel lately, but we still manage to find fun things to do.  Last weekend we had a housefull of people to eat dinner and study theology.  There was also a guitar based antecedent to the evening, so it was a ton o' fun.  We made Red Beans and Rice for some friends that perhaps hadn't gotten a taste of the Gulf Coast delicacy.

Thanks, Garden and Gun!

It turned out wonderfully, and we will likely do it again sometime.  I think we may invest in a better stock pot, though.  KB made some seriously great molasses cookies for dessert that made their way to Houston this week.  Minus a few, because I am a weak, weak man.
