I've been a bit lax in my posting lately--with Gretchen back in the States, all of a sudden I have to cook, clean, walk the dog, and generally take care of myself. As you can imagine, this is utterly exhausting and leaves no time for anything so frivolous as blogging. I'm already missing my Ozzie-and-Harriet, 1950s, bring-home-the-bacon-and-let-my-wife-handle-the-domestic-chores life...

(But seriously, it's great that Gretchen can be home with her mom, who continues to feel better after finishing her cancer treatment.)
