Still alive

Sorry for nonexistent posting for the last few weeks.  I got buried under work, and then when I felt ready to resume, our freak October snowstorm clobbered my power for several days, which makes blogging awkward and also fills the life of a twenty-first century person with a variety of interesting challenges.  But I function still, sort of. I have a few things cooking and hope to be posting again for real in a few days, or a week at most.  Thanks, all.
