The Long Hot Summer; Part Deux

It was about this time last year that we took a hiatus from ELTW for summer, and the kids' athletics and such.  This time, the hiatus has been a bit longer -- since Thanksgiving, actually -- and a lot has happened around the ELTW laboratory/kitchens in this time:

• I had the end-game for business school.  Case competition, final classes, completion dinners, and...
• I graduated from business school. As of the end of March, 2011, I am an MBA. Woot!
• During this time, I was applying and interviewing for a new job.  In February I flew to Florida for a weekend to interview...and got the job.
• Upon graduation, I moved to Florida from Michigan.  It was one degree when we left. One.  Degree.  Ouch.
• From April until the end of June, I lived in Florida while my family stayed in Michigan to finish the school year. It was not a fun time.  I had to fly home at the end of April when we lost a loved one.
• At the end of June, I was reunited with my family and we relocated to Florida, where we now live.

We have talked about ELTW.  We have thought about ELTW.  We're pretty sure we're not done with this adventure.  Once we're more settled, we'll resume with Italy.
