So I've been a little busy this year...

In addition to the typical work, family, and social life type things that put a crimp in my blogging time, I had some extra stuff to work on this summer. There's now a Mrs. QCI!
As any of you who have been involved in a wedding will know, its a lot of work! We were married on October 9th, which happened to be the day that was a record-high 88ยบ out. When planning an outdoor fall wedding in the Midwest, that was not really on our list of possible weather situations. Thanks to all of the great people who helped us on that day, everything went as smoothly as possible, and it was a great day.

After the wedding we were off to our honeymoon in Ireland. This was the first time in Europe for both of us, and while sitting on the wrong side of the car and driving on the wrong side of the road could be "exciting", it was definitely a fun trip and I highly recommend it. I could show off dozens of pictures at this point, but this blog is supposed to be about the QC, so I'll limit myself to 4 of them.



So there it is. The blog is not dead, and I hope to start posting more than once a week. That said, I doubt I will ever return to the daily posting that I did when I was living downtown and putting much of my free time into blogging. Although who knows... after a few years of unexciting (ie, professional) city councils, it appears we're gearing up for a casino battle again! The QCTimes got a month's worth of articles out of it, so I'm sure there will be more posts from me as well. I'd like to thank those of you that still check the blog, and hope we can get back to enthusiastic discussions again.

Welcome back QCI! Congrats on getting married. She looks to be a beautiful bride. This is going to be an epic battle I am afraid. I feel that the Isle is wayyyy off base for which they think their license is worth. I think both parties are too far apart to get this done. Also, the Isle has no reason to hurry into any agreement because they will still be operatingmanaging the Davenport location until they get what they want....status quo as she goes.

Welcome back and congratulations.

If there is too much public posturing before any serious discussions begin, there may be no serious discussions. An encouraging sign is silence.

Whether discussions lead to serious negotiations will be something that should remain in the background, more private than public. The city will hopefully remain neutral and allow the parties to engage.
