UPDATE 2: November 18, 2009 - The Old Man will be returning home later this week. My sister is recovering very well and is finally off her temporary diabeties shots. However, several other important issues await me when I return, but I should be back full time by the middle of next week barring any unforeseen events. Thanks for your patience and understanding, your emails and concern for my family.
UPDATE 1: November 11, 2009 – The Old Man is still unavailable full time, but have been able to squeeze in a few post. It appears I will be out a couple of more weeks. In the meantime, all new post will appear below this one. Thanks for your understanding.

I’ve been unavailable for the past week due to more family health problems. Fortunately this time it wasn’t a death, but major surgery to avoid the potential in the near future. An elderly sister had to have a valve replaced in her heart, and since she has no children I am with her through the procedure, which has already happened, and will be staying with her for a few weeks.
I haven’t posted anything in a week now and probably won’t be able to post many in the following few weeks. But will keep a close eye on what I consider high profile news items and will try to respond to those. However, I’m sure even that will be limited.
Thanks to those who come here to read, and I hope to be back full time in a few weeks.
(I will keep this post stuck at the top until I return full time. Meantime, any post I am able to squeeze in will be below this one.)

Glad your sister came through the procedure just fine and hope she has a speedy recovery. I feel for the stressful year you’ve had.
