I’ve never actually gone to confession, not being Catholic and not having done anything serious enough to go to my Bishop about…in recent years, at least…but I’ve seen it enough on television to know that this is what I feel like I am doing right now.  I feel the need to do penance! It has been surprisingly busy since that last post.  I’ve had visitors and I’ve been trying to get certain things done before I blog again, but I can only see this dragging on for many more days unless I get back into the habit again.  I’ve had some specific projects to do and now they are completed, I can get on with the fun stuff.
