I Just Don't Get It

We've slid into the tail end of August catching our breath and taking it easy after a stream of family visitors in July and August. The visitors were great. Mom and Dad came in July. Two brothers came in August. Work was busier than was ideal for fully taking advantage of their presence, but we had good fun and made some nice memories. Now, as we laze our way into late summer and eventually fall, we've been planning travel for things like Thanksgiving and Christmas. The bottom line? We entertain guests when the heat here is worst, and we're headed into various destinations in the frigid north just as soon as they get things below freezing up there. Perhaps this could be rethought.

This blog, and the Shadeland comic, and Fishbath, are heavily neglected at the moment, in part due to more important work and family demands, but also partially due to another discretionary project. I've been slowly winding my way through many old VHS tapes of family home movies, transferring them to DVD and making copies for Mom and Dad and the many siblings. I've gotten through just three VHS tapes so far, and these have provided content for eight DVDs of thirty to forty-five minutes each. This has been fun, though it is slow-going.
