My bags are packed, I’m ready to go. Well, almost. I’m on a photo shoot for a while. I’m not supposed to tell you where. The line “If I told you, I’d have to kill you” has come up more than once by now.

But here’s a hint or two. It’s a country with four letters in its name. The name of the country begins with the letter C. This country was the location of the incident that almost started a third world war. The United States has a trade embargo with this country. Get my drift? I thought so.

So not only am I leaving Phyllis to take care of the kids, I will be pretty much out of touch. This means no blog updates. Or at least fewer, I have some stories saved up. Hopefully, the photos I come back with will be worth it.
