Sparky's back!

Maybe you've noticed that I'm smiling a lot more these days -- Could it be because Sparky's back?

I told him (and everyone) that things would have been a lot easier if we had met after about six months on my own. It turns out, I was wrong; I only needed three. Yay, Sparky!

We just got back from two weeks of fun, including family time in Denver, a visit from my sister and a side trip with her to Yosemite, and then almost a week in Provincetown and Boston. It was way more fun than any two people deserve to have!!

Now that I'm back I need to hunker down and get some work done, but I'll try and get some posts up about the trip real soon now.
