Blogging has been light this past month, as my wife and I have been moving to our first house.  I borrowed a cute photograph from Ross Rader's blog (Byte.org) which captures the essence of the experience.  Ross was absolutely right - this can in fact be one of the most stressful events a human can experience.  But to add a bit of pain - how about doing it amidst the adverse weather conditions of the Canadian winter (snow and -15 Celsius temperatures followed by continuous rain for a day and about +5 Celsius)?  Not enough?  How about doing it over the Christmas/New Year break, when getting a van, piano movers, etc. gets to be harder?  Well, the worst part is over, and now comes the "order in progress" part (i.e. clearing out all the boxes and re-arranging some furniture).  At least the computer is out of the box and the Internet service is up and running - so blogging is back!
