Ah... the life of a chipper and dedicated politician cannot go undaunted and as a result I will be leave on a business trip later this morning returning on late Monday. I didn't want you all to wonder what happened to me maybe thinking that I ended up in a hole in the Nevada desert :o)

Unfortunately during my trip I limited access to my e-mail I say this because I have a few auctions on-going and I don't want those who might have bid on my auction and are the highest or winning bidder to think that I skipped town. If you are a winning bidder I will be getting in touch with you shortly.
