Warning: No Siena Content

Maybe you don't care why Daddy hasn't blogged in over a month. Maybe no excuse will be good enough. But writing takes a certain amount of warming-up, so consider this my first lap before I really get going in the subsequent entry.

So what could keep Daddy from writing about every cute little thing that Siena has done in the past four weeks?

1. We've been on the road visiting family this whole time--nice to have a semester break again--so most of you saw Siena's cute bits as they happened:

2. Daddy's had to crank out 65 pages to finish the first draft of his latest script by New Year's--and then crank out a second draft (110 pages in all) in the next week.

3. Mamma found out the hard way that her laptop isn't waterproof--right before finals, no less. So she appropriated Daddy's computer for school, relegating Daddy to a Clinton-era laptop with no Internet capablity. And thanks to Dell's "customer service," it took them over a month to get Mamma's computer back.

That's better. Now I can actually write something worth reading.
