The view from my window this morning.

Of course, "changing to sleet or freezing rain" is the prediction for later today. Too bad.

Where I've been.

I've been making up lots of excuses for not keeping the blog going, lately. My current one is that I recently acquired a new computer, and therefore have spent much of the last week installing software, transferring files, re-establishing lost or forgotten user names and passwords, and starting to learn the vicissitudes of Vista.

Bear with me, friends.
