Please Bear With Me...

My 5-year-old Windows ME-running Sony Vaio failed to start yesterday (wouldn't even power up), so I've been running around working on recovering the disk from that old machine (successfully), and getting a brand spanking new dual core 250GB hard drive, 2GB RAM XP machine going (700 bucks buys a lot nowadays). I've finally gotten successfully on line. Will be blogging again before too long, but right now I'm going to focus on getting things shipshape. Perhaps a bit of blogging over the weekend, but I'll definitely be going full tilt again by Jan 2...
