Andlest you forget you filthy swab o' swine, best ye be speakin' like a pirate today. Avast yer scurvy landlubbers! Pour me some rum!

Avast, ye scurvy dogs, wi' a good wind, we'll have naught to do but sing 'til we strike land again!

I need to apologize to those of you who frequent our pages here--I've made myself too busy to add anything to the site lately. For that, I apologize... to all three of you who read this site. :)

Since I've been gone, there are a couple of new things that I should point out. Namely the root domain (www.348north.com) is now a news'ish type website that hourly pokes around the web and finds new articles and such. It satisfies my news urge--makes me feel all up-to-date. And I learned a thing or two in the process, which can never hurt.

Jill and I are also getting the house ready for our newest baby; due hopefully within the next 4 weeks. (weeks, Jill. not days... sorry.) Pray for us as Jill goes through that and we get used to two kids running (around) the house. In preparation for that, we just this week finished the upstairs bathroom. Out with the old wallpaper, in with the new paint and fixtures. We also took the opportunity to paint the kitchen. Only 8 or 9 more rooms/areas to go! :( It is a little fun, though. Thanks to mom J for all her help.

You may notice some new entries on this site shuffled in between the regular posts. (here, here and here for instance) I had a different "technical" journal for a little while, but figured I'd just consolidate. No need for alarm.

It's good to be back.
