On an aside ...
I've been (clearly) struggling with regular postings on this blog and I'm not sure how I can move past the irregularity that has become my blogging.  I think I struggle with witty things to say.  Why I feel I have to be witty?  --- well, if you've MET me, you know I love making jokes.  Usually as inappropriate as possible.  I think when faced with putting it down in writing it's like "GAH! I can't think of anything to say!!!"

So.  Methinks I'm going to aim for "less words, more pictures" from here on out.  If I feel the need to add details or explanation, I will.  Otherwise, just enjoy the view ....
