Born Under Punches

Yep, still here. See occasional updates under The Year in Books and The Year in Shorts.

Things have not gotten quieter since my father died. Since then my mother has had a broken furnace, a broken water heater (twice) and a broken septic system. Plus harassing telephone calls from somebody who got her name from one of the published obituaries.

Toss in some health issues with the in-laws. Shake well and toss in a aged dog who is getting more aged (16+ years, breed average 10 years) who has been to the vets twice this week and is now in doggy hospital. Toss in homework, book reports, projects, etc.

Life is busy. Just not busy online. But, yep, I am still here.
