A TEMPORARY SETBACK

My camera no longer seems to recognize when it has a memory stick inside it; I suppose after four years of faithful service its time has come. Soon I'll have a new one, and some spare moments, and there will be more updates.

The world places demands on my time, is what I'm discovering -- my job, various social obligations, the search for that special lady -- but I will never abandon this thing as long as dogs continue to be amusing. Thanks for sticking this out.*

* Not that I imagine you all huddled in front of your computers night and day, growing increasingly haggard in the wait for an update, but I know what it is to wait for something new from a source of relatively consistent amusement.
