75 days !!...whats happening?

folks, its been a conspicuously long absence from these pages and there are more than ne reason for the same. let me type out the brief here and details can follow later( or maybe not). beginning with the good: I am now an employee of Kleinfelder Inc. got hired as a staff engineer beginning work January 03, 2005. So now that I had the job secured, I decided to take a break and fly down to AUckland to meet up with family. and thats where I am right now. In my sisters guest room typing out this post. hope to be more regular from here on.
