Is it a bad sign that whenever I notice a topic hasn't been posted and the blog has gone silent, I immediately think, Must be a week for either me or Maggie?

I'm sorry, guys. Really and truly. I don't think I posted once in November because life just exploded with insanity.

So let's do a catch-up week, shall we? I know down here we have a lot to talk about and fill you in on, so let's make that our official topic.

And I promise to post on Monday; you can hunt me down and beat me with, oh . . . tubes of bubble wrap if I don't. :)
