Finally, a post

Hello all, No, I haven't dropped off the face of the planet. I'm here - all's well.
I'm back home now, after being on the ship for Christmas. I'm adjusting well to all that is home.

I'm already making my next plan escape: I'm planning to go to Toronto Jan 23 for a short visit there. I'll spend my birthday there (#25 on Jan 26th - hint hint), then I'll go to the UK to see my Steve for a bit. See, with plans made, I can tolerate home. I'd go crazy otherwise.
