Home again, home again. My third in as many years, this trip to Albany was as fun as it was different than 2002's and 2003's. Less video games. More photography. And, for the first time, temperate weather. Sun, a first!

I'm a bit tired and hungry — even for a record-breaking drive of seven hours and thirty minutes. I also have somewhere to be for church this evening; and having spent four days away from just about all but two glances at Google News headlines, catching up on news will be a high-traffic merge. Rest assured, a multimedia telling of this year's Albany Excursion will be up soon. If the Excursion is new to you, educate yourself by reading about the first and second.
