Hello strangers...:)  I know it has been a while since our last update.  Maybe the longest break between two updates ever...but we are back on this virtual journal once again pledging that a break of this sort is not imminent again.   We are definitely not part of this writers' strike that seems to have handicapped most TV shows.   So, while I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you, I know from a pretty reliable source that we have an incentive to keep this blog up.   As you keep reading and coming back that sinister plan will slowly unfold.

     I (JP) have been traveling all over the place.  I got back from a 10 day trip to India last Monday and then left on Wednesday to go up north to Katy's parents' place for thanksgiving.  It was the sort of break I desperately needed.   We got back on Saturday and after a week of catching up at work, I am off again to Iowa this weekend.  I'll be gone till Monday.  Keep me in your prayers as the weather is supposed to get nasty...Arctic nasty.  Lots of ice and snow do not bode well for an Indian driver.   Hopefully the weather doom-sayers turn out to be nothing more than false prophets this time.  

      I hope you are well... and warm wherever you are today.  Keep checking back... lots going on in the Sundararajan household that you may not want to miss out on!;)
