Just thought I would check in and tell you all that I have not disappeared. I'm still reading when I'm able. But I've just come back from a two week trip with my 86 year old mother to scatter my dad's ashes on the Atlantic, as he wished, and now I am in major catch-up mode with work and family, as this was an unexpected break.

(Don't worry; my dad actually died last fall, so it wasn't THAT unexpected. Just the timing of it was sudden; Mum decided we were going to go and when and that was that!)

I hope to be back soon!
