I think it's time for me to check out of the Hotel Esmay. I've had a wonderful stay, although I wish I'd had a little more time to focus on posting this weekend.

I want to thank Dean for the opportunity he's given me here - I'm really flattered that he turned his marvelous blog over to me (and Bill) for the weekend, and I hope you all have enjoyed my efforts, lowly as they were.

It'll be a relief for my wife that this weekend is over. She doesn't really get the whole blogging thing to begin with, so it was kind of hard to explain to her how cool it was to have this opportunity. ("Dean's World? What's that?" "It's a really popular blog, hon." --major eye roll-- "[sigh] OK, have fun. I'll be in the living room")

Anyway, it's been really cool to do this, and I hope you'll all visit my homebase over at marcland from time to time. And heck, in a few weeks I'll have baby pictures!

OH, one more thing before I go - don't forget to donate to the Liberty Alliance. Current results seem to indicate that we're either very poor or very cheap. Let's try to get back in the game, people!

It's been fun, but I've got to run! Thanks again, Dean!
