Greetings from the Red Carpet Club at LAX.

Just a heads up that I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks, starting today.

Taking the wife and the twins back to Japan.

We're staying at a Japanese ryokan (traditional Japanese stye inn) in a coastal village right up against the ocean.

The place where we're staying doesn't have an internet connection, so I'll be unable to check in on the board. In fact, I'm already going through withdrawls. I don't think there's been a day in the last several years that I haven't been on the forum.

Sooooo, if you find that you miss me, don't feel guilty. It's a perfectly natural reaction.

I'll be back home Thursday, October the 12th.
