I haven't written in a while for a number of non-OS related reasons, the predominate one being that we've been preparing our house to sell and I've had some freelance work (yay) and then for the past five days I've been sick as can be with the same thing you and your family have come down with if that sickness includes barking coughs and scary, probably toxic, secretions. Ew. I know. The good news first: we have had an offer on the house after two showings. I recognize and acknowledge and am grateful for my good fortune. Now we need to find another house, finish packing (a lot of it's been done in the name of de-cluttering, a la every tv show on HGTV), and get moved by the end of April, if everything goes okay. There's a pre-paid vacation to go on in the middle of all that, non-cancel-able. I've popped in and out of OS and read many posts and rated a ton and commented on hardly any. I chalk it up to a moment-in-time  that has sapped my critical thinking, leaving room for only the most pressing personal issues. Be glad you can't hear my froggy throat, but know that the song in my heart is filled with remembrances of long talks we've shared.
