The Cellar / I just stopped in to see what condition my condition was in

It is remarkably time consuming to take care of a young child — even when there are three of you and one is retired. But she's a lot of fun. Cute as a button and smart as a whip.

I had a couple of moments tonight to see how all you folks are doing. I hope everyone who celebrates had a great Thanksgiving. I only had to take care of the bird. The ladies did all the hard stuff.

Forget what all I mentioned last time, but I'm still working full time. When I do have some free time, I've been trying to learn to write fiction. I despair of my ever getting all the facets figured out. There's a lot of useless and/or conflicting advice out there. I do sort of have a story in mind, so there's that.

It's good to see you! It's important to have something creative going on whether it pans out or not is maybe not even the point.

Good Morning Pete.

It's amazing that our species has done so well when you consider how time consuming our offspring are.

Thank you all for your responses. I'm a poor corespondent. But I will try to show up more often than every other leap year.

I am not a morning person and I've mostly been able to arrange my life to suit that. But the little one wakes up at 6am which means the rest of the household does too. Ugh.
