It has been a long time since I sat down to write... 

The button on my track pad was not functioning for months... I blame the offspring. It probably got some sort of kid-goo in it. It seems to be working now which is good and brings me to the first in a long line of reasons why I have been neglecting this blog. 

I have not been able to place to windows on my screen so I could see a movie and type at the same time.

and now the baby is crying.
