That strange smell and weird noise are the results of bringing my rusty old copy of Greymatter back into action after a long period of inactivity.  Between taking a vacation (went to California), work, and general malaise, I just didn’t get around to updating this site.  Besides, it seemed like all the other people said most of what I wanted to say.  I could burn up many hours a day just reading their blogs (check out some of the ones to the right if you don’t believe me ).

I will probably make a few posts in the next few days to catch up and to unload.  My trip to California brought up some interesting issues that could use some exploration and perhaps I’ll post some pictures from the Grand Canyon, where I stopped on the way back.
