Back from faraway lands

Hey all--or all three of you who occasionally read this blog. I'm back from abroad, back from Germany, Czech, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, France, and Britain, where I investigated the usefulness of the English language and pantomime in conversing with bewildered people. My advice: when in doubt, just talk louder. They'll understand if you yell at them, after all.

Since I was out a full week longer than I had originally intended (I ahem... missed my flight home, in typical Nate style), I've jumped back into work and haven't really done much else. Now I've got a free day, so it's time to catch up on blogging and emails. Stay tuned.
