Gee, it's been a LONG time, hasn't it?  No real excuses for not updating in so long; just life in general.  It has been a good few years.  My family and I have been relatively happy, healthy, and whole.  A couple of major illnesses to friends and family, one major death, a job loss or two, no births...  Mostly, it's been work, riding my bicycle in ( Read more... )
