I'm back

Holiday visits on top of borked internet service for a few days means I have not been able to post lately.  This little self gratifying experiment is a way for me to collect information I want to keep and practice writing - when I take time to do that - so I want to keep it up. Normally New year resolutions are unappealing to me but maybe writing longer, more descriptive posts has some benefit.  Hmmm?
