Heeey! Look who's back. While you've certainly been missed, I'm glad the break did you well. We all need one from time to time. And it sounds like you've had your hands full. I'm curious to read about these new directions you're pulled toward (and of course, there's nothing stopping you from saying hey, I wanna write something new next year, or in ten years, so) :) R2-D2 is cute as hell and sounds quite a good purchase - I've had mixed feelings about these robotic vacuums. Definitely see their use, and I'm guessing the higher-end ones like Matic do a proper cleaning job (had various cheaper versions at the yoga studios I worked/practiced at, and they always seemed to create more hassle than help).

Sounds like things are going well. Thanks for the viewing suggestion. While I'm generally skeptical about public disclosures of any kind, it's definitely interesting to keep up with the news in the field :)
