Some days inspire long expositions of events and implications. Today inspired a need to sit on the deck and be patient. The septic system, which I just spent $1,800 on just had another failure which may be as simple as a fuse, and may be as much as $1,500 for a new pump. I’d like to tell you more about it and several other news items of various bits of optimism and pessimism, but those will all wait while I manage to manage the more important part of this household – me.

Thanks for staying tuned.
