I interrupt my silence to announce more silence

I've not been posting or even commenting much lately.  Lots of trips hither and yon.  Alas, my whole life is going on hiatus for a while because my mother is very ill and I'm going home to do the daughter-thing.  There is internet chez my parents, but not wireless, and it's hard to get time on their computer.  I have no idea when I'll be back.  But I will be back!!  Have a great summer.
