...and a time to refrain from posting. Well, it's not really a matter of refraining--I wanted to write, but just didn't know what to write. Lot's of little things are happening, but nothing blogworthy. Not even according to the loose standards of this blog. I tried to coax something out of the fact that Noodles, dedicated home-schooling parent, started helping out at the neighborhood school's academic kindergarten, but for her first day at least, she was able to look past the shortcomings of the concept and enjoy herself.

I could also quote a letter from the friend I mentioned a few days back, whose brother is recovering quite well. But what can I say, beyond this quote: "Tonight, to encourage him, I shared with him how many people are praying for him, literally, around the world: In, Korea, Indonesia, South Africa, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Latvia and in the U.S. In, WA, OR, CA, CO, MT, KS, LA, TX, Il and MA. His eyes got very big and I believe he is truly grateful, and so am I." The internet is an amazing blessing? Y'all probably already know that.
