A beautiful day

Okay, now that I have a) finally remembered that I do indeed *have* a blog that tens of people like to read on occasion, and b) been able to type without having to go back and correct EVERY word because it's misspelled or mistyped, I've decided to work on catching everyone up, which contrary to popular belief, will not be insanely epic in length. Why? Well, because much of the last 3 weeks I either recall only fuzzily, or I've been sleeping. So we have a total of about 6 hours of actual movement that needs to be recounted, which isn't too bad. 20 pages, give or take.

In the meantime, while I'm working on said pithy tome, I've also checked my email on occasion, and lo, what do I find today but an alert to the following comment on my blog: "Hello, Just wanted you to know that when I googled "I have completely lost my mind and I need help", this website was number one. So it must be the help that I need. Thank you ever so kindly, James O'Shaughnessey, Gasquet (Darlingtonia) Ca, USA"

In the spirit of the fact-checking, accuracy, and attention to detail that I'm known for, I try this out, and whatdya know, it's true! Actually, if you just google the phrase "I have completely lost my mind" - that's enough to bring up my little blog in the first slot. I am humbled and proud, and would like to thank all of you and/or Google for making this happen. And thank you James O'Shaughnessey for bringing this delight to my attention. Or as we say around these parts: madness takes its toll, please have exact change.
