This and That

I am sorry for my protracted silence. I plead travel, unexpected work, and company. The travel was, well, travel. Anything involving airports should be passed over in silence.

The company, on the other hand, has involved much good talk, and good food. Pat and Gloria Stansberry came last week and we rescued their niece, Rachel, from the monotony of army life for a weekend of bats and food. (When Rachel is deployed I'll be soliciting people to adopt a soldier. More on that later in the year, I think.)

The the folk from Eat Our Brains came so I could cook for them. I got to make ox tail ragu with gnocchi. This weekend is ArmadilloCon. Then, I think, the quiet life for awhile.
