It is with a heavy heart that I report on this blog tonight. While in the Everglades, Slow.... SURVIVED and had a relatively good time!

I'll share some of the excitement tomorrow, possibly, and the tragedy that did happen while there. OK, I can tell you that right now.

My DARTH MAUL backpack has been my travelling buddy this year as well as serving as my "man purse" for carrying things to and from work. He took a hit over the trip and is now going into retirement. Something scraped down the middle of his face and he now has battle damage. Off to find a lesser form of cool backpack, possibly and Emily The Strange....

Look for exciting stories to come, and yes, I know I still have to blog about San Fran and ILM. "
