An update?

Believe it or not, I am still here and sentient. Work "stuff" has caught up with me, not to mention I've been spending most of my free time after work watching things like tennis and Downton Abbey. (I've been watching the current fourth season on PBS, but also trying to catch up as I never did see the first two seasons. As of last night, I'm through the first season's seven episodes.) But don't worry, reader (and I'm probably not far off the mark making it singular): I am committed to blogging, and to the January Cure. Although, admitedly, I've fallen a mite behind on that too... This exercise has been a good reminder that I've never been all that good in taking direction.
