Been absent for a while . . .
Sorry guys, for my sporadic presence these last few months. My father died at the end of August, after a 4 1/2 year battle with cancer. He was only 68. Fortunately, my parents moved to our town 2 1/2 years ago and we got to be with them, but my dad started being ill again in the beginning of July, and it was like he fell off a cliff.
I feel like I'm climbing out of the hole a bit now, so I can be a support to my mom and kids . . .
