It's been awhile.

Quit a terrible job, got a new President.

These November 5th newspaper headlines get me all emotional.

The leaves are turning, and I've been cooking up a storm... basil/tomato/garlic pizza, banana bread, cinnamon applesauce, spaghetti carbonara (always a staple), and something involving squash tonight. I never thought I would enjoy cooking this much, but having my own space and excellent cooking tools has inspired me.

More and more often now, I end emails with "things are good and I am happy." I can't really ask for or say much more.
