Update:

Still waiting to hear about the condition of my Old Buddy, Fairly New Computer.
He is awaiting an inspection and I stand by holding my breath...
In the meantime, Providence would have me caring for my bruised family and their little families, so it has been indeed providential, that in this private time for my family, my computer and my writing get a rest...
My mind still thinks in blogs so once life settles down, I'm sure the outpouring could be daunting.

So.
Until that day, please take care.  Enjoy your families.  Lanquish in the beauty of autumn.  And love deeply and care grandly....
