Yes, I have been away from the blog for quite a spell now. And I am notoriously the worst correspondent on the planet so the emails that I didn’t answer weren’t ignored...they just didn’t get answered in this dimension even though I answered them in my head. Very much appreciated, by the way, but I am a lousy correspondent. Just horrible.

All is well, but you have to remember, I’ve been blogging for about 10 years now. I’d reached a point where I Had Nothing To Say That I Hadn’t Already Said. It was then that I began to think that perhaps I should change a few things in my life.

I think we could safely assume it was a mini mid-life crisis. Well, not really that dramatic and I didn’t quite do the equivalent of going out to buy a red sports car....

but....

I did....

get my nose pierced.

So you see....

Mid life crisis. Sort of.

The lad is home for the summer. He snagged himself an internship in Boston at the statehouse, working for a state rep. He also snagged paid employment at the same rep’s regional office so we have very entertaining story hours in the evenings around here. We’re also helping the local dry cleaner put his own son through college. Holy cow.

Anyway. I’m not sure that I’m any more filled with readable chatter and banter than before, but a few things have changed around here. We’ll get around to talking about it.

So. To recap...I’m just fine. My nose is highly offended at what I did to it, but I like it. The lad is home and loving politics. There is a new skin on the blog to reflect hope over reality....we’ve seen so little sunshine this summer so far that there are days when we worry that it fell out of the sky and is lying dead or dying in a desert someplace. Pictures of it are about as close as we get.

And did I mention that it’s cold outside? It has been the rare day here on the coast when we’ve been able to climb above 58°. That is utterly indecent for the middle of June.

Yep, still complaining about the weather.

I’ll be back soon.
