mrbt! So glad to hear from you! Thanks for checking in on me. I HAVE been quiet for a bit, and here's why--H came and took the wireless internet router! I'm left only with magical iPhone. It's possible to do posting and responses with this wizardly tool, but it is considerably more time consuming. I also often hit the keys c, v, or b when I mean to hit the spacebar. This requires much concentration and editing ability. I've chosen to change internet providers regardless, but they have not deemed me a high enough priority case as yet. When my laptop can once again stretch its wings and enjoy wireless, I won't have to be so quiet and mysterious. This is especially important l since H paid a brief visit yesterday and was disconcerted by my admirable detachment. so much to write about that. Soooooo gratifying.

In other news, father is cooking mass quantities of meat this Sunday night. A family event. Oh, no.
