but really, I have an excuse-

no, seriously.  I've been on a boat.  

that's right.  a big sexy gorgeous god-I-love-and-miss-her boat.  the Robert C. Seamans, and she sailed me from puerto vallarta mexico to papeete tahiti, and now I've faced reality and have returned to land.  

boohiss.

but prepare for an inundation of deviations.  I suppose I could even post a few pictures of the globe o' doom.  nyep.

so the caffeine rush has finally dissipated.  at 0333.  bedtime.
