With a nasty cold.

Five days without a blog post! Regular visitors must be thinking that I’ve fallen off the face of the earth.

The truth of the matter is, my dad and his wife came for a visit and I’ve been caught up entertaining them. The highlight of their visit was a the Land of the Navajo multi-day excursion I took them on — mostly to test the itinerary and timing for the trip.

I was nursing a cold when we left Wickenburg on Tuesday, felt a bit better on Wednesday, and hit the bottom on Thursday. The biggest problem was that I couldn’t take any medication before flying. And although I do my flying sitting down, it really sucks energy out of me.

Anyway, I’m back and my dad and his wife are on their way back to Florida. I’ll be fighting this cold today and flying tomorrow. But I’ll try to find time to post some blog entries in between — including one I started last week and didn’t get a chance to finish.
