Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

We now resume our regularly scheduled broadcast
Sorry for the brief absence and short posts. I was awash in social engagements and houseguests. Thursday and Friday saw the arrival of a dear friend and his delightful progeny and we attended a few baseball games, met other close friends, and hit the National Aquarium. They departed town on Friday mere hours before #1 Sister arrived later that evening. We had the requisite shopping and Thai food experience, coupled with movies and sleeping in. #1 Sister departed Sunday to fetch her brood and take them home to start school (they had been visiting their Dad in VA all week), leaving me just enough time to clean up the aftermath, and host a working dinner party at the house for members of the City's League of Women Voters. I'm co-chairing a week long visit of Russian politicians in October and the logistics (housing, transportation, and the schedule of events) is mind boggling.
But - I'm back - will resume regular posting as time and energy permit.
