I’m sorry, I haven’t had a chance to focus on writing anything really for this site over the last month or so.  The last couple of weeks in particular have been an absolute beast at work and – as usual – friends, family and projects are being given short shrift while the demands of work are like a vampire to the blood of my leisure time.

Sigh.  The big excitement hereabouts today was the sighting of this little fellow:

 
 
He is a white winged crossbill, and – apparently, according to the authorities available to the Juniorvanian Department of Science - his presence ’round here is somewhat of a rarity.

I promise, when The Man stops kicking me in the crotch 24/7 with his hobnails, I will post a l’il sumpin’ sumpin’ – and oh, how we’ll laugh.
