Hey, friends. I hope your week is off to a good start. I spent most of the day yesterday wandering around the house, murmuring monosyllables, gazing pitifully into space, and trying to at least appear engaged in life to my kids so they wouldn’t worry that daddy was going to have to go “somewhere where…

Many thanks to all of you who tried to help me find my shark post. It actually was gone…as in, GONE. No where to be found. Possibly eaten by a shark. I’m not sure. But thanks to the heroic copying and pasting by Nancy Mattingly, I have it back. Thank you, Nancy!
