 Tempus really fugits! |
It's April 23 again! A year ago - almost to the
hour - I was boarding a plane in Huston, TX to fly
to Gatwick, UK. After living for more than half my
life up to that time in the US the justice
department finally got tired of trying to untangle
my messy immigration situation and hoisted me out'a
there. There was a little matter of five months (or
so) of being bounced through a series of megalithic
detention centers and seedy small-town jails, while
the powers-that-be scratched their heads and other
parts of their anatomy trying to decide how to
'dispose' of me. I'm still bothered by the balance
problem I picked up during that episode, but all
things considered things are going tolerably well
for me. Since I've been back in Blighty I've found,
or been found by, a slew of family members I wasn't
aware of before from both sides of 'the pond', and
even some in Oz and NZ. Imagine that!
Now I get to enjoy spring and summer again in
beautiful Norfolk; maybe I'll do a little boating
this time. Ho-hum.

 Curioser and curioser... |
Do you ever just find yourself scratching your head
and wondering What-the-(expletive deleted)! That's
been happening to me quite a bit lately. I don't
attribute it to senile dementia... a concern
nevertheless, but more to the veritable torrent of
long lost family members quite suddenly coming at
me from cyberspace.
I've otherwise been busy working on my 'Jacket
Woman' project-- about my great grand aunt Martha,
and it seems a bit uncanny that these other family
related events are happening. I should say that I'm
delighted, and not a little nonplussed, (now
there's a word). Should I be worried..? I ask myself.

| Long time no blog... |
Hi again from a wintry Norwich, UK. As one who has
fine-tuned procrastination into something
approaching an art-form I might say, in my own
defense, that I have added some photos and a couple
of video links to my site. Since last April I've
been steadily re-acclimating to England and now
feel perfectly 'at home'. I need to mention how
very grateful I am for the help and support of
local church friends and from the City Of Norwich.
The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints,
known too as the LDS or Mormon Church, is a worthy
and noble thing, and I heartily recommend anyone to
investigate it. There are 'wild-west-stories' about
the church and its members which are still commonly
told, but a little personal investigation generally
settles the most skeptical of minds.

 New stuff! (Imagine that!) |
I'm starting a new bit of my site today; it's
behind the 'Profile' tag. In time more will
be revealed therein. Ho-hum.

 Listen up, somnambulent gastronomes! |
If anyone wants to have vivid and bizarre dreams,
try eating a whole strawberry trifle before going
to bed... Works for me! Cheese is another good
one; but either one could give you a hangover in
the morning.
