So*, I'm back. I think Mama already mentioned that, though, right?

I've spent much of the morning catching up on Hatrack, and to be honest, I'm not sure I remember much of anything I've read. I really need a nap, because my body is in this time zone but my brain is not. It's not you, it's me.

I borrowed a laptop to take with me to Uganda, and I was able to jot down some notes and thoughts. Unfortunately, the battery life of the laptop was a whole two minutes, so I could really only use it while it was plugged in, and the power was off more than it was on where we were. I also didn't have all that much time to write things, since we didn't stop working for much more than meals and sleep. But hopefully the notes I took will help me to remember what I was going through both physically and mentally during my days, and I'll recount some of them for those of you who are interested (yep, both of you).

Um... I'll have more to say, really. I missed you guys, and thought about you a lot (not as much as I missed Mama and the kids, but still). If anyone wants to summarize the important events of the last two weeks (approx.) of Hatrack here, that'd be great, too. *smile*

Welcome back, Pop.
I haven't been around much either but I think it's awesome that you went to Uganda.

If we're turning out the lights, doesn't that mean the party's just getting started?

LOL, El Jay, my first thought on seeing the title to this thread was that Pops went to very boring parties if turning OUT the lights meant the party was over.

Tante Esther was bragging that she is broke records, because she reached her 1000th post so quickly.

I'm sorry about the records. I'll sweep up and buy you some sturdy 8-tracks.

Ditto what ElJay and Jeniwren said.
Speaking of dull parties, while you were away we bored Bean Counter so much that he "left."

A new planet was discovered while you were gone. You should leave more often. We must overthrow Jupiter's powerful grip on this solar system!

Oh, but we blew up Mercury on accident, so don't worry about the number of planets, just think of it as a nice little trade...

Hm, a bit of a double post there, Tante. Better get that looked at.

Hey, Pops! No, no, I'm taking out the garbage right now instead of the normal day just because I want to be helpful! Not because there are thirteen bottles of Everclear and nine dobies hidden at the bottom!

Kwea: Picture me making little quotation marks in the air when I use quotation marks in that sentence, okay? He "left" *wink* *wink*.
Now, that doesn't really work with your sentence, because it's not that he "switched" screennames, he switched screennames. See, no little quote marks in the air for that case.

What else happened recently... Enigmatic explained something he really shouldn't have to.

Or did he?
