Returning again to this blog. I left it on the Winter Solstice, I’m
returning now that we have passed the Summer Solstice.
I left because -- so many things went wrong between
those two soltstices!
In early December, my car was stolen. Long story--maybe I’ll tell it later.
In late January, just as we were about to buy a new
car, my dental crown fell out. By the
time that was fixed, in late
February, another tooth or two had gone with it, and I had my first dental
bridge. “Oh Joy!” The temporary had threatened to come loose
just as I was settling in for coffee and a sandwich at Pantheacon.
End of February, congratulating myself on surviving
the car and tooth “incidents” -- both our computer and our printer stop working; so we were off to research
replacements. If I tell you we ended up
moving from Windows 7 to Windows 8.2…some of you will appreciate that we had a
bit of a “learning curve.”
Middle-to-end of March: The house plumbing starts to back up
again. We get it unclogged; within ten
days it’s a mess again. Unclogged
finally--but the toilet seemed defective.
Off we go to research toilets.
And so it went through April and May.
And finally we had a sleek (?!) new toilet!
I’m sure other matters came up--or maybe it just felt
that way as we recovered from these disasters.
You get the picture.
And now--June--the Supreme Court decision on gay
marriage. And, unfortunately, the
killings in Charleston. I’ve been online
all week discussing the propriety or impropriety of the Confederate flag.
And figured: Solstice-to-Solstice was enough of a gap
here on Grail and Wand.
So I’m back.
