Well, 2008 has just ’bout been done and gone.

So many changes this year, I cannot begin to count. Not the least of which has been my mostly-unnoticed absence from this forum.

Absence … absinthe … tasted some (the real stuff) a week or so ago. Not as hateful as I expected, and if I enjoyed the flavor of anise (which is nigh overwhelming in the stuff) I would probably find it quite nice. Perhaps my eldest (who is a big fan of NECCOs) will enjoy it when she is of age.

Eldest was also mysteriously ill a good chunk of the year. Situation seems to have righted itself (again), but no less-disturbing for the familiarity. Vacations, family visits, holidays … and a major career-shift for both of us principals. (She is now officially “Chef Walusis“.)

Don’t know if I will manage to write much more often in the New Year, but I do have internal 3G wireless on the new ‘netbook, so perhaps lunch hours will afford more ‘blogging. Hope that all of you are well, and that we all see each other (or at least write) soon.

So take a cup o’ kindness … and TTYS!
