Swamped.

I apologize for not having posted more recently. With our Tres Hombres readership hovering near five or so, one would think that the mass public clamor for new posts would have caused me to write more often, but I've been a little busy. To be honest, I don't have a whole lot new to offer, so I'll just offer a few brief updates on what I've been doing and why I've been so busy.

1. Trying to make a major purchase. Can't say more right now.

2. Spent the 4th having a great time. Caught the parade in Coronado, went boogie boarding with my kids all afternoon, ate dinner at one of southern California's greatest institutions, and caught fireworks over a local park. My ten-year-old son described the day as "epic". I agree.

3. My kids are on summer vacation. We've been doing a lot of fun stuff, educational stuff, and generally goofy beach stuff.

4. I'm trying to get up to get a few nights of camping in before the kids go back to school, which is in two weeks. (They have year-round schools here, which is actually much cooler than it sounds. Four breaks a year - each of which is three or four weeks long - rather than one really long one.)

4. Did I mention that I saw the Police?

It may well be the perfect summer.
