Two things...
I am heading down to Seattle for a few days to attend the
Artist-Blacksmith's Association of North America (ABANA) annual convention. These are large blow-out affairs, very well planned and attended by blacksmiths from all over the world. By good fortune, the 2006 convention is being held in Seattle near where I used to live.
I'll be staying with a friend who has internet access so I will update from time to time but the usual spew will not be as much.
Second, I was looking at the blog stats and see that this is post # 5,008 -- been posting here since October 2003. Been a long fun ride and it is just beginning!
Also, had my 44,000'th page view yesterday -- not LGF or Instapundit caliber but not too shabby either.
