No, I haven't forgotten all about updating this blog. Two things have been in the way of regular updates this past week:

1. Shel and I were in Chicagoland closing on our new home this week, and
2. All of the blogging action was happening in the Comments section. To date I see upwards of 31 comments on the Post-Eva Ruminations Part II post.

Shel and I are thrilled to be moving. Er, except for the ridiculous hassle of moving itself. That much is nasty. In supremely bad timing, I have a week-long business trip to Orlando like the day after the moving company delivers our stuff. Shelley basically gets buried under boxes, while I catch a plane. No fair, is it? Believe me, I'd much rather be with Shel, settling in.

At least Sher's coming to visit that week, so Shel won't be totally alone with the endless unpacking and arranging.

My first job is to clean, strip, and stain the wood trim baseboards. Can't wait!
