terrible blogger

....after being a compulsive blogger for years, I somehow fell off the map.  Attempted to jump back in, and failed miserably.

But anyway, I have had an excuse lately.  My dad has been in the VA in Little Rock for 3 weeks. I don't have time to elaborate, but I did want to thank everyone for all their prayers.  He is supposed to be moving from ICU to a normal room today, and I will update later.
