Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

And Wednesday.

Sorry for the consecutive mini-hiatuses (hiatii?), but a combination of factors, including unscheduled travel and the fact that my life is fairly dull just now, will probably keep me offline until late this week.

But before I go - if you ever get the chance to see Lemony Snickett's "The Composer is Dead," DO IT.  Our symphony performed it on Saturday for the final children's concert of the season, and Mr. Snickett himself did the reading, which tickled me quite a bit.  It's very dry and clever, but still has enough laughs for the younger set. And you'll never look at french horns the same way again...

Final Postcard Update:  The Boy got to bring home all the postcards addressed to him.  It was a lot of fun looking at all of them and reading what you wrote!  Thanks again, folks!  The Boy got the second highest number of postcards in the class, but only because one girl's grandmother was apparently on some cross-country road trip thingy.  If I ever get around to doing that scrapbook that I bought when The Boy was born, I'll be certain to include your cards!  In the meantime, rest assured that they will be preserved forever in the Giant Drawer Full of Stuff That Will One Day Go in The Boy's Scrapbook.  I've got a tentative completion date set for 2015 or so.
