Did I drop off the face of the Earth

No I just have been really busy and trying to keep up with Facebook and lots of other things. Right now I'm in Florida again. I have a low cold level and sometimes I just have to go someplace warm. Actually, this is the second trip to florida this year. However the January trip was met by record cold temperatures here. So I felt cheated, actually this is my annual drive down to Florida (OK so I missed last year) and with the brand new Ford Fusion Hybrid it was alot of fun. The car is the most complex vehicle I have ever owned. There is 525 pages to read about the car and Snyc computer. I have realized that technolgy has advanced past my skill level to understand the systems. The car is so quiet that I keep thinking the engine quit. Actually the car runs on the battery and the computer turns the engine off and on. And of course the computer talks to me to tell me what I am doing right or wrong. The car even has a tutorial system the runs on the screen. I think there is a test after each section and it grades you on how good you are. So the car got me here OK and with outstanding gas mpg. The car can almost go 600 miles before refilling which caused me to learn that my bladder can not go 600 miles without service. The weather down here has been nice and warm and I ride the bike at least once a day. I thought to myself that nothing has changed down here and then remembered that it has only been 2 months since I was here last. My sister in law wrote a rather strange story (actually after I reminded her she hasn't written anything lately). It seems to be about a singing frog or group of frogs. It soon developed into a Steven King mini story. I believe she needs more sleep and change the pills she has been taking. It started well and then came the Steven King part.
My oldest daughter completed her year long project of taking a picture everyday and making it relate to her first full year in Argentina. Great job. My other daughter had a little car trouble as in the engine had a disaggrement with the timing belt. But lucky for her her new boyfriend is a mechanic who got her a new engine and fixed the car. And my grand daughter is doing well in school.
Midnight is limping a little due to a bone spur or somehing like that, but he gets a pill and is still active. The wife will be flying down next tuesday and driving back up with me, I wish she was here but work calls. So that is a quick recount of the past 4 months. As I said it has been a busy 4 months.
Ciao for now
