Here is an exec summary - for full details go HERE to Atlas Shrugs' (the FOX/CNN/MSNBC of the TWOU) post:

• Ramadan Abdullah Mohammad Shallah, wanted by the FBI "for conspiracy to conduct the affairs of the designated international terrorist organization known as the "Palestinian Islamic Jihad" (PIJ) through a pattern of racketeering activities such as bombings, murders, extortions, and money laundering" has resided at the same residence as Yousef Megahed and 24-year-old Ahmed Mohamed - the pipe bombers of South Carolina.
• The bombers were getting FedEx and UPS shipments on a regular basis.
• The group "Palestinian Islamic Jihad" (PIJ) with HQ in Damascus, Syria and Iranian financial backing is operating within America.

Sorry about the absence.  I could make some profound excuses and try to look good, but the honest truth is, I was tired and I needed a break.

One thing I am learning is when my body says slow down, take a break and relax, I listen.  I've been working pretty hard in the day job, trying to keep up with the daily stresses of an active family, practicing guitar when I can and trying to slip in some video games here and there.

And sometimes all that takes more hours then you have so you start losing sleep.

But there is also a mental weariness that crashes down on sometimes.

While it may not be apparent to many, blogging is work.  Hours researching, reading and composing to make that final result readable, memorable and most important to me, sensible.
