It's that time of year again

Time for my annual sabbatical to Shore Leave. But first, off to England for two weeks. My plane leaves this afternoon for Chicago, then it's off to London, barring any unforeseen weather events. They're saying today should be clear, but the threat of "severe weather" was "slight" yesterday and the siren to warn for tornadoes went off at 1:15 this morning. Talk about a new experience.

Anyway, I hope I don't miss too much here, though I'm sure I will.

hsv_fangirl, cluesby4, math_magician, catalenamara and anyone else going, I'll see you at Shore Leave!
