Several of my gentle readers have complained that this blog is, for the moment, a failure. One even offered to write posts for me. Just this morning, Kellen e-mailed me this stinging rebuke:

Sir, your blog is deplorable. It needs IHOP. It needs Reedy River. It needs Furman . . . Sir, your life is spicier at this moment than at any other time you’ve been maintaining this blog, and your blog right now is so very lacking.

I apologize to you, gentle readers. I promise that within the next few days I shall write about all my adventures, complete with photos.
