From the long, lost blogger

As many of you have noticed (and not failed to mention), I have fallen behind on my blogging. January was busy, but not as busy with blogging as we all might have liked. So, I took some time today to get caught up. There are 5 new posts (not including this one). You might want to start at the bottom and read up, if you're interested in a chronological sequence. (And, I posted my first video on the "It's a beautiful day" post...enjoy!)
