It was busy at work after returning from PASS which means my work day continued for 2 or 3 hours after I got home most nights the past two weeks. I intended to get my NULL blog posted earlier but along with the time issues, I've fallen into the "blog is a small article" trap http://sqlservercentral.com/cs/blogs/steve_jones/archive/2005/10/14/232.aspx as Steve mentions. Not that I think my blog is as important or as frequently read as the Microsoft guys or all the gurus out there, but I hope it is useful to some people new to SQL.

Anyway, I'm on vacation and leaving town for a week very early Tuesday morning. I'm going to try not to think too much about SQL while I'm gone.
