What Was I Saying? Oh! I'm Home!!

As an excuse for my long absence - it has felt long to me! - let me just get out of the way that I re-learn, every time I am away awhile, every single song the phone company plays while I am on hold to get reconnected, both phone and internet. I will also say, the music has improved somewhat. Or, I am getting older and more patient, but I think it is the former, rather than the latter. Thank god
