A Few Words

Sincerest apologies to those of you who rush to the 'puter each morning immediately upon waking to see if there's anything new on The Frogmarch... these past two weeks we've been on vacation in Italy. A week in Venice and a week in Umbria, with a Riviera stopover on the way back--all very successful and enjoyable, with photos and whatnot to come once I get my camera unloaded and so forth, deal with the bills that have piled up, and, uh, get our heat and hot water working again.

Yes, just as with the last time we went to Italy, our chaudiere--the infernal-combustion device that heats our water and the radiators-- has gone into Cylon mode (The chaudieres were created by man. They evolved...they rebelled).

I had hoped to pop into a cybercafe once or twice while in Italy, but the opportunity never arose; in Venice we were too busy trying to cram in as many museums/churches/historic sites/boat trips as possible, and in Umbria there just aren't many cybercafes around in towns without stoplights. Oh well.

Hopefully there are still a few of you out there who haven't deleted this site from your Bookmarks for good.
