It has been brought to my attention that I need to update this blog a bit more frequently - especially when I have not finished our cruise story, or even STARTED on the Ann and the kid's trip to Sweden. Fair enough. I stand before you guilty as charged.

As an act of contrition, and a taste of what will be coming, please enjoy the following:
