Apologies for my brief absence.  We've had visitors from Boston for the last week or so (Evelyn Rosenthal and her friend Jim), we've been extremely busy with duties around our new neighborhood dog association, I've had my usual share of endless doctor appointments, it was Labor Day, and on and on - plus, I just needed a break.

I've been working on some things behind the scenes: an updated Wishlist, the creation of a monthly archives page (see top of left column of links), various small User Interface tweaks, and a lot of thinking about just what I want this thing to become. I mean besides the collection of tidbits it currently is.
