A Pin Drops in the Forest

Allow me a moment to let my voice echo through this empty chamber of a weblog.

:: cough wheeze ::

mmmmm.

dusty.

I've been pretty topical lately and have been pouring all my journaling efforts into my astronomy site. I'm trying to get polished and poofed up with more content for when the book comes out in a couple months. You know, sort of like a grand re-opening.

It's been Mighty cold lately. She got down into the single digits last week, and it's been pretty icy since then. The little wimpy dusting of snow we got 5 days ago is still hanging on in the grassy areas, which is pretty unusual for the microscopic snowfalls.

Oh! Speaking of microscopes...

...nah...

...I'll get to that later when I can post a couple pictures.

Giselle is learning to play the clarinet. She's been at it for a couple months now and she's making a lot of progress with the technique, and really picking up the sheet music notation quickly. I tell her she's WAY better than Squidwerd. And she is. =)

I came home from work one day last week to find Harrison latched onto his sister's torso while she dragged him around the house step-by-slow-and-ponderous-step. Turns out he learned about sloths in school that day and how the babies cling tightly and relentlessly to their mothers for some 40-odd weeks before setting out on their own recognizance. I've gotten a whole lotta laughs out of his bouts of slothdom and Giselle's loud laments as she collapses to the floor, unable to move another inch.

Well, I'm off to go buy some spare reeds. Gotta keep the reeds in stock!

Yea! You're back! Missed the wonderful world of laughter you post here. :)

Not to mention, your astronomy section is excellent too. The how-to for sketch-to-computer conversion is excellent....learned a lot.

Thanks for the smiles!

Catherine, thanks! The fact that somebody still drops by despite my once-every-four-weeks posting habit is...

well...

it makes me a little weepy

(that's the shame peeking through)

You've inspired me to...to...

to feel even more guilty the next time I pull another month-long abandonment. Really though, I'm inspired to cultivate my little garden of knuckleheadedness a little more conscientiously.

Time will tell, as they say =)

Thanks for posting!
