Groundhog Day + 11

Poking the snout out to find shadowlands deserted, the scent of hyacinths around every supermarket, and shoves from New Blogger at my butt, pressing an end to hibernation. Far from being asleep, however, I was taking my classes, getting my license, canvassing my precinct - and a lot more non-idleness. Not enough mischief and invective, I fear, but I'll remedy that.

I'll have to post sparingly at the moment, and there is a lot of plumbing and wiring yet to be done (just look at that Blogroll, so many dear departed!), but I expect to be up to an amble pretty soon.

Thanks to all who have sent queries as to my whereabouts (and to those who even thought about sending one). My apologies for no letting you know, sooner, how much they heartened.
