Back from Hawaii !

We're back. It was a wonderful two weeks. Nonetheless, as wintery as Kentucky looks in comparison, we're delighted to be home. To those of you--especially Mason!--who kept the anthrakian fires burning while we were gone, I want to say "Thank you." And on behalf of all of us, I'm glad to say that Mary Lou Stephens has accepted our invitation to participate. Welcome, Mary Lou! Tomorrow I be sure to post a few observations and comments that I've made in my journal while in Hawaii, and I hope you return to take a look and join once again in our conversation.
