i made the flight
from a 404 phone number, Thursday, August 12, 6:15 PM EST

This is a great transition into letting you know that I will be out of the country for the next week and a half. That means I can't turn on my cell phone, and THAT means no blog updates. I know this is sad, but there are close to 2,000 entries in the archive of this blog, so I bet you can keep yourself busy reading and texting while I'm away.
