back in the saddle again...

wow...the time went by and i never intended to be gone for so long! i think part of the problem is that i left with some kind of half-baked commitment to returning with a big, 'best of' blog. way too intimidating! so, for now, i'm back and looking forward to catching up with all of my blogging buddies....including the new family on the block... the Rice Family. Welcome to the neighborhood!

i'll be back again soon...
