Since we met last, dear readers

I have learned that scheduled posts do indeed work, and I have gotten out of the habit of posting. Sorry.

We had a perfectly wonderful family road trip shaped like a triangle. One leg was nine hours long, the second leg was three hours long, and the third and final leg was six hours long.

Of the first leg of the journey there is not much to report as it happened almost without noteworthy incident, excepting that after nine hours of driving, we arrived.

(Three of those hours we spent listening to an audio book by Lois Lowry, The Willoughbys. If you like orphans, old-fashioned stories, old-fashioned children, adventures about orphans, adventure stories about old-fashioned orphans, allusions to adventure stories about old-fashioned orphans, or parodies of old-fashioned adventure stories about old-fashioned orphan children, you may find this book amusing, and you may even laugh out loud while driving while listening. Don't try to drive and read, though.)
