OK, so I’m still on “holiday schedule”, here in the blogosphere. Busted!

Even though our travels are over, we’re not back to normal just yet. My sister is here visiting, so expect a return to normalcy (such as THAT may be in THIS space) by the beginning of next month.

It is nice to be back from our excursions – to mow lawn that we aren’t using, visit Gerald (our resident gopher), and enjoy continual scattered showers instead of all that wasteful sunshine stuff. Who needs to soak in rays during the summer? Not us Canucks!

Not sure what’s on tap for today. I had a column deadline, which I have now sent off. I should start to plug through the 400+ e-mails that I’ve just downloaded, many urgent, many offering wealth or appendage supplementation. I imagine if you combined both of those options, you’d be sitting on a literal goldmine.

Better run, the day is beckoning, and I think I may see some clouds parting out there. I could score four minutes on a lawn chair!

Chow for now!
