Sorry for the lengthy silence.  I am still here, though it's been a bit busy and I don't even have any good pictures to post. Below, in unpunctuated free verse, is a brief summary of the last few months:

There is also a good story about a wedding which included, in what may be the first event ever of the kind, the word 'skulduggery'.  I plan to write about that another time, but that's the same thing that I said about the day that we almost had to abandon EH in the Dominican Republic and you have yet to read that little tale, so don't hold your collective breath.

In other updates, the pool is not open yet, which is just as well since it is 65 and raining here today.  The garden is, in all likelihood, having a year off unless I suddenly come upon a pile of free time not caused by cancellations due to rain. And, it is probably time for me to start panicking about the fact that our trip to Costa Rica is less than two weeks away.  The way things are going, it will undoubtedly rain on us there too.

In the mean time, all sports were cancelled tonight due to rain, so I have finally lucked into a little unexpected time, which I will spend working to make up for all the legitimate work time that I have recently spent playing Candy Crush.  Off we go!
