Finally back in the country.
Had a good holiday despite the 7 hour delay on the way out - that was pretty rough.
Been offline for a week which was weird. I could have paid for Wi-Fi but chose to have a break to see how easy/hard it would be. Wasnt too bad, although it is interesting to see just how many times through the day or night I just want to check on things or look stuff up.
Got roasted, drank beer in the sun while kids wore themselves out on water slides.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

The only real solution is that you're never allowed to leave again.

Saw Taylor Swift last night with my wife, and Bryan Adams came out and they dueted Summer Of ‘69....it was AMAZING! The crowd went bananas.

Yeah, about that. It's Bloodstock next weekend. They have Emperor and Nightwish. Much as I love you guys, you don't have Emperor and Nightwish.
I can not go away for a bit after that?

Nope. Your only recourse is to give me your Bloodstock tickets. ASAP.

I was utterly going to slam you for the Taylor Swift thing, but you made a huge save with the rest of the post.

It is, and the best I've been to personally - it's just big enough to pull in some great names, but also just small enough to keep a really nice atmosphere, lots of people bring their kids and it's very friendly.
Although, to my knowledge, they have yet to book Taylor Swift

Yes, I assume that was the name they were playing on. It started as a very small indoor thing back in 2001, and has been outdoor since 2006 I think.

Everyone knows QT is a 'Swiftie'. The sequence number on his membership card reads: 000001.
