Okay folks, sorry about the drama there... and soon I will be able to "tell the tale of the tape" as to what's going on... Suffice to say that Sue and Matthew are OKAY, going good, and all is well...

...and that we're SWAMPED with work... some of which is rather odd and important... but sadly for me, not "busly" related... mostly ghostly stuff... (Whee~!)

That said, I think I've shaken the bad vibes loose... and am getting my sea-legs back in order... and managing to deal with a lot of crud and crapulence...

Ergo: During my "downtimes"...

...MUST...CONCENTRATE...ON...THINGS...BUSLY!

They make me happy...

I gotta be honest, the bus would have been VERY handy this weekend past for us... as an ESCAPE vehicle! Yup, away from the 'net, away from "things ghostly"... just away! Y'know, get myself rested, re-charged, and READY for ACTION!

...which this evening consists of fixing databases and clearing out e-mails and trying to figure out what news I can spill and what news must be suppressed for safety and security reasons...

...and no, none of it revolved around "He Who Can Not Be Named" or my new pal, Barney!

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, during this "less than 24 hour" hiatus I tried to take, I received an e-mail from someone asking THE POINT of this blog and why it has it's unusual name.

Okay, I know it's on the "side bar"... but for those NOT in the know, click here... please note that I have updated that post as of today... to kinda explain what's been a-happenin'.

Oh, by the way... last week's Thursday Thirteen I wrote... MOST HITS EVER! People seem to like the funny!

Hey, I got a whacky thing to ask all of you... I'm SERIOUSLY considering corresponding with (or trying to) Conrad Black while he's killing time... I don't want to get into a debate with anyone, but believe it or not, I have a lot of respect for the man... and perhaps, during this "downtime", he might have some suggestions on ways to find (read: make) $20k to make a busly dream come true.

Whadya think? I'm deadly serious... I mean, I have to ask if he has any ideas... the worst he can say is "No", right?

So, it'll be back to "same-old-same-old" by Wednesday... hang in there... and fingers crossed the DREAM will COME TRUE!

(There's still hope!)
