Just an update in case you were worried...

I logged in tonight and discovered it has been over two weeks since my last post. If you have not seen my Facebook messages, this may have caused you to wonder if something bad has happened to me. I apologize for causing any anxiety; I have been somewhat busy in my hours outside of work, as the Songbird has been home since the next-to-last weekend of September for reasons she has asked me to let her explain to you on her own page, in her own time. Suffice to say for now that both of us are fine and neither of us is in any danger, physical, economic or otherwise.

Meanwhile, both of us offer deepest sympathies to batyatoon and sdelmonte, who lost the first child they had been trying so hard for so long to conceive yesterday, after only three months or so of pregnancy. She will also probably tell you more in her own time, so please don't pester either of them for details. Here's hoping the next one comes easier...and stays longer.
