'Tis the Season

Hi Everyone,
I've missed you and the blog which has taken a back seat  lately (as some of my BFFs have) for the reason that I'm working day and night with pre-publishing articles and blogs for Llewellyn's various sites, and giving "By Morning's Light" a last once-over before it goes into print in about two weeks time. 
My house is screaming for attention and I fear it could be put on the "Condemned - Keep OUT" list if there 're any health inspectors roaming my neighborhood. A layer of dust has settled in  and so have a contingent of Stink Bugs leaving obnoxious little foot prints and poop splats on my wood floors. There are also a few of their dead comrades lying toes up here and there where I've gotten up from the computer, grabbed my fly swatter and "Offed" them en passent. I thought that would hold their numbers down at least until the next time I get up from the computer. But I swear the little crappers - like pine trees in fear of extinction - started producing multiple loads of baby bugs. So this morning I went after them and the dust in earnest. We'll see how that works.
I have no sympathy for them. I had a friend once who whenever she swatted a bug of any kind would roll her eyes to Heaven and say, "Go to Jesus." I can't dig up that sort of guilt at all I'm afraid, but for years she added a few colorful strokes to the painting of My Life. She went to Heaven herself not long ago, and I'm sure she's with Jesus - probably surrounded by a jillion thankful little bugs. For me, I hope there's a Bug Heaven somewhere and I hope it's a long way from mine.
Back to the computer!
Hang in there everyone, you never know what's coming next. I hope it's sometthing GREAT!
