Hark! New voices ring in the dusty corners of Mom's shadowy manse!

Again, I must make amends for absence, but it is so time consuming being alive and well. Actually, I have been intermittently unwell in minor ways, and will certainly post requests for sympathy should anything serious develop. Sympathy is SO useful and healing, isn't it? But today's a good day and I send my spriteliest vibrations out to all those ever touched by Mom's gracious halo of influence.

Rapparree, all is forgiven. Go ye home, start anew!

As for sailing, I can only beg to differ with your uninformed, uncharitable, uneducated, mean-spirited and curmudgeonly remarks.
