OK, Rich has not abandoned his loyal readers. He really values these people as without his readers he would stop blogging and at that point he would have to find a hobby or two. Thankfully, dear readers, I am still with you and in fact this week my family decided I work hard enough to take some time off.

 

So I am at an undisclosed location which has plenty of sand and beach chairs. This doesn’t explain how I got locked in my hotel room by myself however. Due to this hotel’s awesome WiFi I decided I needed to videoconference with TMC using Microsoft’s new RoundTable conferencing unit. The conference was great and I felt like I was in the room.

 

I was told I sound better than when I am there in person which makes me wonder if I should ever leave this secret location. But alas, sooner or later I will have to come back so be sure to stay tuned as any moment now, I may run into Dick Cheney.
