About a month ago my daughter's (4 years old) finger tip was cut off in a closing door at a public pool. There followed a very difficult 3 or 4 weeks for her and our family. She's getting better now and mainly concerned with healing enough to go swimming again. I finished my school year today and begin my summer job tomorrow which means catching an early plane to the west coast. I'll be home on the 19th of July and back to regular blogging shortly after that. I've got 2 posts still in draft form and several more in nacent form in my head. This blog will continue to be quiet now but watch for more action towards the end of July.

May you all have an excellent summer and enjoy this wonderful time of year with your families.

All the best!
Darren
