Explaining away my absence

I remember reading somewhere that it is a good idea to write about why you are not going to be posting to your blog if you are going to be away for a while. That way your readers know that you haven't just disappeared off the face of the earth. Unfortunately, I didn't remember that until I was already on the road!

So here I am, apologizing for my absence. Once I catch up in my reading (It seems like everyone I read posted something in the last six days!), I'll be back to writing. I have missed it!
