Finished a surprising 3rd of 17 in Charlotte - surprising since the first three games took us south. We never bothered to check the scores after that. Third place was a shock. The tournament format works for us, though, given the style of our play.

Didn't get much work done while away - very little time. But got reminded while gone just how much of my time the project has taken since its inception - I need to take a few days off from it to square away some of the details in my personal life. I expect to do so as soon as I can reach the halfway point. Some web pages I maintain are in serious need of updating, some personal projects need work - I need a break. In any event, though, my outlook is still on the up side - all goes reasonably well.

Transportation snags delayed homecoming three hours, but some others were delayed six hours. Curcumstances out of their control and absolutely nothing they could do about it.

I'll be home for four weeks then it'll be back on the road again.
