A little about what is going on in my life right now. I am a land surveyor and the company that I work for has taken a contract for some federal road work that has a tight deadline. We all know the old saying that goes: “your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part.”. Well that don't work if you still want a paycheck

So I will be working 60 or more hours a week to finish the out of town field work by the end of February so we can get the drawings out on time. I will be playing when I can, mostly on the weekends when I am home. I wish I could play during the week as the flowers on the hotel walls are beginning to drive me insane. Unfortunately the small town I am working in does not have a great selection of hotels and the ones there have unreliable wireless connections at best and no hardwire connections for my laptop. Oh well just one more reason to get this damn job done and get home.

To my friends I miss you and your game play very much and will return as soon as possible. Until then good luck on the felts and may all your flops be good.

John
