greetings, true believers. much has happened lately, including an event that contributed to recent quiet (and future) blogsilence – my PC died about 3 weeks ago. granted, i have the old backup laptop, but it doesn’t have a lot of the things that would normally draw me to the PC for hours at a time, so i haven’t spent as much time online. my best efforts to repair it have come to naught, so i may be seeking an alternate route. more on that later.

i have many pictures to share as well, but they too must wait until things PC are resolved. in the meantime, i have updated the blog per the chronology of the last dozen days or so. now i’m exhausted again and will be returning to bed. thanks to everyone for your well wishes; we’ll return to health soon, promise. be seeing you…
