Some of you may have noticed the dearth of posts on the blog lately. I have been stretched thin over the past 4 - 6 weeks. In the interim, I made an enjoyable pilgrimage to Kansas City (Cerner-ville). While in KC, I visited several of our faithful readers. I saw the mighty T-Bones (best baseball team in KC) with Andy and his family. I watched DLS's daughter play some softball. I ate some wonderful ribs at Gates with Paulie.
I have also been working long hours and sleeping short ones since we've upgraded our software at work. Hopefully this will start to settle down, and I'll find some time and energy to blog.
This weekend the women have abandoned me. I planned to fill the void by playing lots of golf, but the weather was uncooperative. Instead I'll use the time to get going on the blog again.
I do want to plug Lou's party. He's planning a party on July 22nd. If the party is anything like last year, it'll be a blast. Jeff might skip the golf this year though. I only have one suggestion for Lou. Don't do all the food this year. It was delicious, but you guys don't need to do all that work. Just getting everyone together is hard enough. This year, I'm bringing the lyrics to "Two Hangmen."
One last thing I'd like to ask. Will you say some extra prayers for folks who have cancer? My Dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer, and there are lot of folks, young and old, out there fighting this difficult battle. Keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.

Buddy, that is one low BP. It seems like your Mom has been fight health issues as long as I can remember. We'll set asides some thought an prayers for your parents.
I think Dad's prognosis is as good as it can be for a return battle with cancer. He is trying to get into a study for an expiremental therapy that his doc thinks will help him. Even if he doesn't get into the study, though, his doc believes the drug will be approved by the FDA in a few months.
Jaga and Seamhead, thoughts and prayers for both of your parents.
I've been overcome by new job duties as well including a pretty significant pick up in travel requirements. Spending quite a bit of time in Hoffman Estates,IL.
Check the blog from time to time. Hope all had a great Father's Day Weekend. Wonder how Boz is making it as a new parent....
-Howdy
Seam & Jag,
My family will keep you and yours in our thoughts as your loved ones battle illness. Rog, as you might know, Bethany's grandmother succumbed to her bout with cancer two weeks ago. Ironicly, Jagua, it was her blood pressure's sudden drop that ultimately led to her passing. I am glad your mom overcame that.
Stay positive and never let an opportunity to be with your family go by without saying "I love you." Those were the last words I said to Bethany's grandma, and I feel pretty damn good about that.
