Haven't seen him around much at all these days! Off to bigger and better things? Or porch material?

He's not in my porch! He did go on to bigger and better things, or at least more local for him with a bunch of "real" coworkers instead of a bunch of names he only saw on interoffice messaging, because he got a job with the newspaper in Kansas City, where he lives. Telecommuting across several states is tough, and he made it work for a good long time, so no hard feelings there. He still peeks in on us from time to time and helps when we have a "Hey Baxter!" problem.

Haha, that pic is awesome. Where's it from? BTW there seems to be another Stig (spoiler alert!) in the #12 demo derby car. Which is real? NO ONE KNOWS. Why are the demo derby cars RHD?

Holy crap, how did I not know "Where's Stig" existed? That's so cool I just went and ordered it.
Okay, Amazon had used copies for 77 cents, but still... -

So, OK, yeah, I'm a little late seeing this.
Like Margie said, the Kansas City Star was knocking, and I answered the door. Apparently the magazine industry wasn't volatile enough for me and I felt the need to go back into the newspaper industry, where things are really going tits-up.
That said, I've always loved papers, I have a lot of old friends at the Star, and it's never dull.
Very busy, though. Since spring of this year, I've launched:
Judging the Royals-- http://royals.kansascity.com
The Midwest Democracy Project -- http://midwestdemocracyproject.org
Saving 17,000 Kids -- http://saving17000kids.kansascity.com (a big special project about the utterly berkeleyed kansas city school district and what they're doing to try to unberkeley it)
Don't kill the Melllinger -- http://mellinger.kansascity.com ( a blog for one of our columnists)Plus a couple of redesigns and other smaller stuff. So very busy. I'm still checking in when I can, though.
I think it's cool that anyone was interested in my whereabouts (assuming anyone still is, six months later)

Glad to hear all is well. You headed south for a vacation this weekend? Tim has made it clear Margie is to be nowhere near cement mixers over the next few days, so youre good there.

I am, actually, but not to the challenge. Got a big Gretsch guitar event in Nashville I have to go to. With a little luck, I'll be bringing home another guitar or amp in the Miata.

Wait, what?
Mom, should I unload the pickup?
