Hello, my fair-weathered friends and readers! I am gone on vacation this week with my family, probably at this moment lying in the sand on a beach (Lord willing the creek don’t rise), not thinking of you all. Anywho, be that as it may, I didn’t want you to miss my pretty face, so here is a video of me ranting about Apache Iceberg, something I’ve had a lot of practice doing and enjoy quite thoroughly.
