Brief Pause
I’m going to have to take a pause on this for this week–my internet situation is tenuous, at the moment (hardware/connectivity issues, nothing serious). With luck, I’ll be back to the regular schedule with the next post–even if I have … Continue reading
Happy Thanksgiving!
I obviously didn’t look at the calendar when I was writing my last post–this week, here in the States, is Thanksgiving! As such, I’m going to hold off on writing anything major. I’d like to take a moment to thank … Continue reading

I’m out…
No post this week, folks. The kids have been back in school a bit over two weeks, which is almost exactly the incubation time for whatever bugs they’ve brought back from the petri dish… Between being sick, and probably overdoing … Continue reading
