Back!

Today was my first day back (at work) after nearly 6 weeks away - most of the time was spend with Flavia's family in Brazil. We deliberately avoided internet access, news anything. Very nice to disconnect from the "perpetual now" of IT- and news- life. Interestingly, upon returning and plugging back in, nothing seems to have changed, and the world appears not to have completely imploded without my constant attention.

Maybe I'll stay away longer next time.
