Hello, ‘zards.

It’s been exactly a year since I last posted. Not because I’ve been away for a felony or anything, just stuck, I guess, neck-deep in the Slough of Despond.

Taking care of my old (97) mom, and we’ve been holed up for over two weeks now. Have at least a month’s worth of food but will run low on booze in another ten days or so, and will need to make an outing for more. This is not a pleasant prospect here in Louisiana, but then again doctors have been telling me for decades that the drink will kill me.

Here’s all good thoughts and hopes for all of you, and that we all can e-celebrate before too very much longer.
