To my reading friends: Thank you for your support during my recovery from viral meningitis, which put me in the hospital September 24-October 5. Typically, the viral type resolves in about a week. As you know, I’m not your average bear. Two months later–just before Thanksgiving–I began to feel like myself again.

Since then, I’ve been focusing my energies on returning to my normal routines and getting into the holiday spirit. Please watch for a couple of updates; otherwise, I’ll be devoting the rest of December to family and friends.

To be sure, my writing will return on a more regular schedule in 2016. Until then, happy holidays everyone!
