Not everybody writes a blog post every day.  Some people take time off.  Some people take lots of time off.  Some people take so much time off, that they end up in Jango Davis’ “Zombie Blogs” feature in the comment section of my blog. And then… when you least expect it… they return.  And when…

Lillian, Jennifer, Freda and me

It seems strange – the passing of three and a half decades of time. Three and a half decades.  Thirty-five years. Time that passed almost like thirty-five seconds.
