Yes, I have vanished—again—thankfully for a good, yet exhausting, reason: Ben is now a (shocked) brother. The infant's arrival kind of threw him for a loop, and I don't blame him. Heck, I'm youngest, and it was great for the most part. So I feel rather guilty.
But this will—again—put a but of a crimp on my blogging. Back to being a sporadic poster.
