What is the number?

The number……well……it is 183…..What is 183, you ask? Well it is the exact number of days since my wife's last blog. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE days since her last blog (Yes, that's right, I did it, I threw my wife under the bus). Can you believe the nerve…..

She has not written anything since we saw that wicked rock in Plymouth, MASS. (By now they have moved the rock inside a museum, so it is no longer on the shoreline, and yes, I was about to use the word wicked to describe Plymouth Rock.)

The Millers Top 10 for "Why we have not written on the Blog in 183 Days"…….
10. We actually only went to Boston for a long weekend.
9. We have been camping out at Fenway for a chance at Tickets for a game in the 2008 Season. (We failed by the
way.)
8. We've been hunting for yet another apartment to rent and move to (No kidding, we have lived in 3 separate
apartments in 9 months.)
7. We left Boston for Thanksgiving and never came back.
6. We left Boston for Christmas and never came.
5. We left Boston for the winter and never came back (I think people have done that before. Not a bad idea if you
have ever been in the Northeast for Winter).
4. Chris moved to Brazil.
3. Allison fell into a book and could not get out.
2. Allison is still rejoicing from 1st Semester grades (Four As and a B). She was last seen in Brazil around Carnival
time looking for Chris doing the Samba.

And the Number 1 Reason "Why we have not written on the Blog in 183 Days" is…….
1. We forgot the Blog passwords and it locked us out.

If you were following our blog like people follow the Red Sox's (that is for you, Knickerbockers), Allison is truly sorry for not keeping up with the blog (I think you have way too much time on your hands or a serious problem).

Actually, keeping up with the blog does not fall squarely on Allison's shoulders. Yours truly has not done his part either; I have not blogged for more than 182 days. At least Allison has been attending one of the best schools in the country. What has Chris been doing you ask…..Well, to be honest, other than living on an airplane, not much.

Let me give you a little perspective on my travel (as I think it might actually be a valid excuse after reviewing)... So, since the beginning of the 2008, I have flown just over 70,000 miles, or 2.81 times around the Earth (and we are not yet at the half way mark for 2008). I think a New Years Resolution for 2009 will be to reduce my travel or maybe go to the moon (not sure which one is more realistic in my current position).

That is right I circled this thing almost 3 times but keep ending up in the same places... in fact, it is on the other side of this picture as this is showing mostly Africa

This entry is going to serve as a starting point for a high speed update of the last six months. I promise to provide at least one update for each month that we've missed and get us back on schedule. This will allow Allison to redeem herself (actually, allow her to finish school so she can graduate and, more importantly, keep the job she was offered) and then provide you an overview of graduation and our farewell to Boston (and quite possibly to blogging.) Or at least until I get in to Harvard Business School (now that is a funny one.)

So, that's all for now. Until another 183 days have passed, or until my next post about Thanksgiving and our awesome Bed and Breakfast in Kittery Point, Maine (I will post the address, they do not take reservations…..you just show up and they always seem to have room and one heck of an egg sandwich…).

Goodbye for now from the Millers in Boston (and Brazil.)
