Don't go "shoulding" on yourself; so many are pleased to have you back; doubtless you've had more pressing issues (though we are, of course, downcast that anything could come before us).

BTW, the Canadians are right where they've always been (long E, there), just north of the Disunited States, in the safe zone.

Welcome home.

I was just checking to see if you had joined the crowd leaving this place.
As my gardening has been not great the past two years, I need to read stories of people who know what they are doing.
