Making "Siri"

Then reality set in. First, I was in the final stages of prepping for a long anticipated trip to Antarctica. This turned out to require literally 9 visits to REI and pretty much consumed all of my time in the days between Thanksgiving and December 7th. (The trip was great and I'll have pictures posted shortly. [Editor's note: Ha!] But it put a damper on card execution. This also explains why, if you're reading this and wondering "why haven't I gotten my card yet," the mailing is very late in 2011.)
