April Fool a few days late.

Wow, after a short hiatus of only 130 days, I am starting up my blog again. April 2006 has brought some seismic changes to my current state of affairs. Although I'm not sure when and if I'll be comfortable detailing those changes here, I feel compelled to take another stab at blogging, as a way to focus on the present, and to stay connected with friends near and far.

Today was not a particularly profound, life changing sort of day, but the fact that it snowed this afternoon gave me reason to laugh. Mother Nature in New England has a mischevious sense of humor. Spring should have sprung days ago, but instead we get cold gray clouds and flurries falling in earnest, even though all the snow is destined to melt away almost as fast as it falls. Not so pleasant, but not nearly so bad as the April Fool's storm of 1997, which left my house without power for almost a week.
