Sorry for the radio silence, folks. Yesterday was intense. Got home around midnight, fully intending to blog and fully needing to crash. Plus (mini-rant alert): I have crap equipment. My crap Mac battery no longer holds a crap 6-hour charge, and in my realm, despite the nature of my work, replacement is a luxury item. Crap.

But now, I am back at work, locked to the desk, and ready to sort through photos and write. Look for a few upcoming posts: Updates on yesterday’s trip to the coast with Mobile Loaves & Fishes and an update of local ways you can help. Keep checking throughout the day, and again, thank you for joining us.
