I'm here

Inexcusable, this disappearing act. I was so engrossed in the unparalleled joy of dusting, sorting, trashing, then packing for and panicking over an unaffordable interstate move, I forgot to add a word of update. The loading is done, next up, travel. Said paing involved a "pod" dropped at my doorstep, which, now fully loaded, is slowly making its way to the Seattle area. E.T.A.: 5 March. Hence no hurry on my part. And now that the frenzy is over, I can work my way back here. —PM
