I feel like crud warmed twice over.

Here now I am faced with, what I think, is the biggest drawback of blogging technology. I love it - and it's both fun and therapeutic for me. And I think it's a great way to let family and friends keep up with what's going on in your life, if they're interested. But when things happen quickly, it's hard to keep a steady narrative. It's like reading a book chapter by chapter in reverse chronological order. So I'm going to post Saturday first so it shows up after Friday and you can read the rest of the story in order.

Anyway, it's Sunday afternoon now, and at least where I live, the skies are darkening up again. So I invite you to put another log on the fire, get yourself a cup of tea or hot cocoa, and sit down for a nice long blog read.

And I will get another post or two up soon with more pictures than text because I am all typed out. But right now, I'm going to go eat some Chicken Soup and Goldfish Crackers and watch Bladerunner.
