Thanks to all the regular readers and well-wishers who left comments. This is an ongoing thing for me. The months of August and September are tough because they are respectively the anniversary months of my wife‘s birth and death. I’m still working my way through all of it. I can’t stand the word “closure” because it’s just so sweetsie-trendy pop sociological. Denial was easy to get through; acceptance is hard. Sorry to take it all out on you.

The period from Thanksgiving through the Winter holiday season is hard, too, so now you’ve been warned.
