I was in Chicago for a week (staying with Wulf Ratbane, bless his dwarfy heart), and almost immediately upon my return a DNS problem prevented me (and probably three quarters of the members across the world) from posting. Very frustrating! It finally cleared up for me this morning.
I've been working for most of today, and have quite a bit of catching up to do. I'll get a new story hour up in the next day or so, and I have some pictures from Chicago to scan in and post. I had a great time while I was there - two incredibly fun games at the Chicago Gameday, playing in Wulf's Lazy Days game, exploring Chicago with lots of EN Boarders, going to a roller-coaster-riffic Great Adventure, and all sorts of other fun things.
Thanks for asking!
