So, why haven't I been blogging?

No reason, really but a lot of reasons too. I'm still sick with a prolonged cough that just saps my energy and makes me pretty miserable. Work continues at a hectic pace, all the programs that I successfuly arranged the cash for a couple months ago are taking my full attention to get moving forward. School is two night a week and I don't get home until after 10 PM, so I'm constantly tired from those extended days too.

I've tried to catch up with some rest this weekend, only partially successfully. I cleaned a large portion of the shop today, then sat to watch some NASCAR racing until my neighbor, Leonard came over with a broken secondary water valve and a flood that was racing towards my shop. So I helped him dig a trench to route the flood away from my shop floor and then I spent a couple hours helping him get his broken parts removed and some new ones installed.

I did hear from Son Noah today, collect, from a payphone in San Francisco. He seems to be having a fine time, sleeping in the Tracker and taking the BART into the city for sightseeing each day. He says he has found some really good food, really cheap. He also is completely uncertain of his palns any further out than tomorrow. The traveling food peddlers that he worked for is on hiatus for a couple weeks and he thinks they are in Arizona next, so he may, or may not catch up to them. There's also somebody he wants to go see in San Diego, so he might just head down the coast. He really doesn't have a clue but he seems to be pretty happy. He says he might be home in time to look for a ski resort job- or, he might not.

There's a lot of news about Son Kye but none of it is good and I'm not going to share it here. I wish I could share but I won't for now. Let's just say that the boy has bought himself a boatload of trouble and my ability to help him is going to be very limited.

So apologies to all for the dearth of postings this past week. If I can get my cough under control, my energy level will improve and my interest in sharing might get better too. Now let's try Carol's suggestions for fixing my cartoon centering problem!
