Devoured by a Gnu?

A friend recently wondered if my absence from the blogosphere meant I'd been devoured by a gnu. I am writing to say, I have not. I fear gnus. How can you trust an animal with a sneaky silent letter in its name?

Where have I been?

I've been lurking about, reading blogs, scarcely even commenting. I've been knitting. I had my wisdom teeth extracted. I've been swamped with the daily business of raising four kids. I've been superbly lazy.

I apologize.

I will do better.
I will do better.
I will do better.
