Hmm. Lots of things have been put on the back burner lately. Clean floors, for one. Raked leaves, another. Getting and carving pumpkins (yikes--still to be accomplished), as my kids remind me, is officially later than ever before. Sadly, writing for my own pleasure (including this site here) has been yet another. I'm fine. The family's fine. Louie's fine, except he's taken to barking at the falling leaves. I'll be back soon, when I have something to say and time to say it. (Somehow the two haven't matched up very well lately.)
