N.B. - I'm writing this from (one of) the Houston airport(s), waiting through the last of the three remaining hours before my flight home, so I ask that y'all please forgive any incoherence right now.Thank you all who commented on my last post, about Talia - I very much appreciate it, more than I can say. Literally, in fact; I've tried a few times ( Read more... )

In the spirit of not letting too much time pass without an update, have a few semi-random bullet points about things that have been going on with me!
