Gone

Another long hiatus, due to a combination of life and a return to Southern California to visit the ancestral manor.

I hadn't been back to San Diego for five years and I had forgotten how superior it is on the quality of life front. Even the sprawl and traffic issues that I remember being so bad didn't seem so, especially in comparison to the DC area. I don't know if this is a reflection on DC or whether Southern California has gotten things under control, but it was a pleasant surprise anyhow.
