Be it known... I am aware of my recent sporadic and unexciting entries and am suitably discomfited. If I may place blame I will only say that my creative energies are being garroted by work and school; but somehow, they are equally being roused by other important social events. I'm not complaining, but I long for a lazy afternoon of serious writing. And help is on the way in the form of a new laptop for Mollie. Upon its arrival, I will be able to sit on my couch, or any other place of comfort, and recommence the proverbial sponging and squeezing of long ago.
